Reason for recall

Two cables within the console were inadvertently twisted during manufacturing. The individual wires within the cables may break and/or contact one another where the cables terminate into two connectors. When these wires break or contact one another (i.e., short), various types of malfunction may occur with the console. One type of malfunction may result in unexpected aspiration increase.

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.
