Users can mitigate this risk by performing the visual check, test procedure and take appropriate actions based on the Attachment provided in this notice. Complete and return the enclosed Customer Acknowledgement and Response Form . We are continuing to evaluate this issue and will advise the affected customers when we have an alternative solution. Visual Check for Correct Mattress Placement: To ensure proper operation of the scale, please check to confirm there is a clearance between the mattress cover and the corner blocks and side panels of the Resuscitaire. 1. Ensure mattress with cover is installed in the Resuscitaire bassinet. 2. Observe edges of mattress for clearance with corner blocks and side panels, see Figure 2. 3. If there is interference, then the scale may not provide accurate weight measurements. It is recommended to use an independent scale for therapeutic decisions and treatment Test Procedure If it is unclear from the visual check if the mattress cover interferes with the corner blocks and/or side panels, impacting scale function, please perform the following test: a. Place a known calibrated weight on the center mattress (with mattress cover installed). A 5kg weight is recommended in the instructions for use. b. Execute weighing procedure and record weight. c. Repeat weighing procedure 5-10 times. d. Compare measurements. i. If measurements are within 5 grams of calibrated 5kg weight, mattress assembly is acceptable. ii. If measurements deviate more than +/- 5 grams from the calibrated 5kg weight, it is recommended to use an alternate weighing scale Contact: We regret any inconvenience this may cause.
