  CASE v7.0 Cardiac Testing System Model no. 3031234-001 Product Code SU3

  Electrical sparking may occur at the printer head. If the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) printer brush becomes dislodged, electrical sparking at the printer head can result in charring or discoloration of thermal printer paper. Ignition of the paper could potentially result in serious thermal injury.

  Brand Name: Sentinel V11 Product Name: Sentinel V11 Model/Catalog Number: 92810 Software Version: 11.6.0 Product Description: Cardiology Information Management System Component: No The Sentinel Cardiology Information Management System is intended to connect to supported medical devices and analyzers in order to download, store, access and manage cardiovascular information and to manage patient and facility information.

  Due to two distinct issues: 1. During patient admission, patient demographic fields may default to those of a previously viewed patient. 2. Systems configured with Resting/Rhythm ECG functionality, under specific navigation conditions, test data intended for one patient may be saved under another patient's record

  Merge Hemo, Model RCSV2, Model/Catalog Number 99-01172-00, software versions 11.1 and 11.1.1 Product Description: The Merge Hemo, Model RCSV2 device is a hemodynamics recording computer system that monitors, measures, displays, records and stores various physiologic and blood flow parameters based on the output from one or more electrodes, transducers, or measuring devices. The system is used for documenting and monitoring patients undergoing diagnostic and interventional catheter-based procedures. The procedures can be performed in the clinical areas of invasive cardiology, interventional radiology, and cardiac electrophysiology.

  Merge Healthcare has been informed by Schiller AG (Baar, Switzerland) of an issue with the Schiller ARGUS PB-3000 Patient Data Module (PDM) where certain units trigger an error message on the Merge Hemo Client (Pressure Sensor Defective) during non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurements, specifically when the initial inflation pressure is set in the high-pressure range (>240 mmHg). The ARGUS PB-3000 is a vital signs monitoring instrument intended to be integrated into the Merge Hemo System. No other components of the Merge Hemo System are affected.

  Horizon Cardiology Hemo. Version 12.2.

  A potential issue has been identified in Change Healthcare Cardiology Hemo where incorrect data entry can lead to inaccurate hemodynamic calculations, potentially resulting in misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. This issue occurs when the unit of measurement (UOM) for hemoglobin is configured in a way that differs from the users understanding.

  Boston Scientific AVVIGO+ Multi-Modality Guidance System, AVVIGO+ BRIDGE TO INTEGRATED KIT; the system utilizes an interactive display to provide physicians with physiologic, intravascular and/or intracardiac anatomical information. The system can provide various modalities which includes intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). When used with a peripheral vascular imaging catheter, the system utilizes the IVUS modality for ultrasound examination of intravascular pathology.

  Boston Scientific has received reports indicating the grid mark overlay on the cross-sectional view did not present correctly when an OptiCross 18 Peripheral Imaging Catheter was connected to the AVVIGO+ Multi-Modality Guidance System while in either Live or Record mode. The Boston Scientific investigation determined that, due to a software anomaly, a 9-grid mark overlay is incorrectly displayed during Live mode when AVVIGO+ is connected to an OptiCross 18 Peripheral Imaging Catheter. Note that the correct overlay display for this catheter is the 15-grid mark overlay, which allows for a reference depth setting of 14.9mm for peripheral catheters. This software anomaly is limited to Live or Record mode. In Review mode, the correct 15-grid mark overlay is displayed, and the vessel image is correctly scaled to the appropriate size.
