Reason for recall

Command modules will display the following when parameter processing is suspended, depending on software version: 1) Older versions will have waveforms present with no alarms, 2) Newer versions have waveforms absent with no alarms. This may cause clinicians to miss a potentially catastrophic event.

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.
