Why Was This Recalled?

May display Calcium results on the screen with wrong arrow direction which may lead to misinterpretation of results and incorrect medical decision. If the unit for iCa++ is set to mg/dL (configured as Service Code MGL) and a measured iCa++ value is lower than the normal range, an upward arrow is shown on the display instead of a downward arrow. The display is set per default to mmol/L; therefore, the arrow indicating an alarm reflects normal ranges of iCa++ in mmol/L. If mg/dL is chosen, the arrow warnings on screen still reflect the ranges from mmol/L, rather than mg/dL. The numeric result is displayed correctly.
