Due to an error in assembly of the thermistor within some units, the affected probes will experience inaccuracy in measured shunt sensor temperature. Additionally, following changes in patient temperature without an in vivo recalibration, affected probes may experience inaccuracy in other measured parameters, including pCO2, pO2, pH, Potassium and calculated parameters, including BE, Bicarbonate, Arterial Oxygen Saturation, Delivered Oxygen, Area Under of the Curve of Delivered Oxygen, Oxygen Consumption, and Oxygen Extraction Ratio, which utilize temperature as an input. Inaccurate data may lead to inappropriate user response.
