SD LTM 64 PLUS, EEG Amplifier/recorder, Model/Catalog Number: SD LTM 64 PLUS, Software Version: firmware 2021.02, 2022.01 or 2022.02
Natus has become aware of two complaints related to the SD LTM 64 PLUS where the EEG traces acquired from two or four different amplifiers used in a multiple amplifier configuration (128 or 256 channels) running firmware version 2022.02 were displayed with a shift of 1 second between the 64channels blocks. In rare circumstances, a fixed 1-second temporal delay may appear between two 64-channel modules with firmware 2021.02, 2022.01 or 2022.02 in a multi-module SEEG configuration, potentially leading to misinterpretation of results.

Seer Home System is an ambulatory electroencephalograph (EEG) system intended for at-home use for extended EEG and video EEG (vEEG) recordings and analysis. The Seer Home System includes the Sight Monitoring Hub, the Sense wearable, Monitoring Portal and associated accessory components (Disposable EEG Wires, WaterTabs, WaterTabs Application Kit, and Take-home Kit).
During CAPA investigations of sight production inconsistencies, it was highlighted that previous Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) assessments related to RF radiated emissions may not be reasonably equivalent to the current product due to design changes in the system. A new CAPA was opened to investigate the radiated emissions compliance issues. - Seer Home Systems distributed and retained in the field were not compliant with Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing according to IEC 60601-1-2 - Seer Home Systems, including accessories, were manufactured and distributed without application of proper design change and manufacturing controls - Seer Home Systems were distributed with labeling deficiencies

NicoletOne Software v5.94, Catalog/Part Number: 482-649600. The NicoletOne data acquisition and review system, either with or without synchronous digital video. The system is intended for medical purposes to record, measure, store and display full band (FbEEG) cerebral EEG and extracerebral activity for Clinical EEG, Electrocorticography (EcOG), Long Term Monitoring (LTM), Intensive Care Unit (ICU) monitoring and Polysomnography (PSG) Sleep studies. While the Nicolet Neurodiagnostic systems are capable of displaying signals, such as Sp02 and EKG, the system is NOT intended for monitoring such signals for the preservation of life, The Nicolet Neurodiagnostic systems are intended to acquire, analyze, and display data
When using the NicoletOne v5.94 software, after exiting the impedance check function and returning to the EEG screen, the impedance check signal remains active in waveform, obscuring the EEG signals.
