Reason for recall

Electrode placement labels on the Digital Acquisition Box (DAB) were applied backwards. This may ultimately lead to misdiagnosis of seizure location in neonates monitored with this device.

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.
