Reason for recall

The probe power monitoring settings have been found to be not appropriate under specific operating conditions when connected to the devices listed below. This issue may result in overheating of the probe head. The probe power monitoring settings may not be effective in specific operating conditions so that the surface of the probe head may overheat in around one minute of continuous operations. The patient may experience discomfort, reddening of epidermis and/or mild pain. To date, no patient injury has been reported with regards to this issue.

Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
