Reason for recall

Mortara Instrument, Inc. has recently become aware of a potential safety hazard involving our ELI 380 electrocardiograph. When used in a particular workflow, acquired ECG waveforms for one patient may become associated with the patient demographics for a different patient when the record is transmitted to a records management system.

Lead and other heavy metals accumulate in the body. Children are most at risk; even low levels can affect development.
