Why it was recalled

The displayed value for the invasive blood pressure measurement of the IACS was different than the actual patient values. Liquid ingress in the cable connection may cause inaccurate measurements. This can happen if the Dual Hemo MCable is used in a non-vertical position, a vertical position but upside down, or laying it on the floor or on the patient bed.

FDA root cause category: Labeling design
