Reason for Recall

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.
