  ON (B)(6) 2022, ABBOTT POINT OF CARE (APOC) WAS CONTACTED BY A CUSTOMER WHO REPORTED THAT I-STAT1 ANALYZER SN (B)(4) HAD A NOTE ON IT WHICH SAID "PLEASE LEAVE THIS IN DOCKING STATION TO CHARGE.". CUSTOMER STATES THAT IT WAS NOT CHARGING AND THEY WENT TO PICK IT UP THEY REALIZED IT WAS HOT TO THE TOUCH AND HAD A BURNING SMELL. THE ANALYZER AND RECHARGEABLE BATTERY WERE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE AND RETURNING FOR INVESTIGATION. APOC HAS DETERMINED THAT A COMPONENT FAILURE WITHIN THE ANALYZER CIRCUITRY, MAY LEAD TO THE BATTERIES BECOMING UNCOMFORTABLY HOT TO TOUCH IN THE AREA OF THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT WHEN USING A GREEN NON-FUSED BATTERY CARRIER. HOWEVER, THE CUSTOMER STATES THAT DISPOSABLE LITHIUM BATTERIES IN A RED CARRIER WERE BEING USED AT THE TIME OF THE EVENT. THEREFORE THE ANALYZER IS UNLIKELY TO BECOME HOT TO TOUCH. THE PRODUCT WAS REPLACED AND IS BEING RETURNED FOR INVESTIGATION. BASED ON THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE, THERE WERE NO PATIENT OR USER RELATED INJURIES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COMPLAINT.
