Due to an error in assembly of the thermistor within some units, the affected probes will experience inaccuracy in measured shunt sensor temperature. Additionally, following changes in patient temperature without an in vivo recalibration, affected probes may experience inaccuracy in other measured parameters, including pCO2, pO2, pH, Potassium and calculated parameters, including BE, Bicarbonate, Arterial Oxygen Saturation, Delivered Oxygen, Area Under of the Curve of Delivered Oxygen, Oxygen Consumption, and Oxygen Extraction Ratio, which utilize temperature as an input. Inaccurate data may lead to inappropriate user response.

During some clinical cases, it has been observed that the SO2 value may periodically appear as dashes on the Touchscreen Display indicating unavailable data. In these cases, a yellow low-limit alarm will also be triggered to the user, due to the dashed-out value.
Pressure relief valve included in certain lots of cardiovascular procedure kits was reportedly opening at approximately 200-300mmHg versus 400mmHg, potential myocardial tissue damage potentially requiring surgical or medical/pharmacological intervention
