Recommended Action

Per FDA guidance

On 05/31/22, correction notices were mailed to customers who were asked to take the following actions that can be taken to minimize risk to patients or users: Weigh the benefits versus the risks when deciding whether to continue to use the alarm escalation feature within XTR 1.4. Suggestions from Spacelabs to mitigate the risk: - Set the priority to the same level as the escalation max on the product. This will ensure that the highest priority alarm is triggered for the technical alarm. - Do not run the XTR 1.4 for more than 24 days consecutively. Restarting the XTR after 24 days will mitigate the issue for another 24 days. - The recalling firm is working on a 1.4.1 release of XTR which will address this defect.
