Description

Altrus Thermal Tissue Fusion Energy Sources, Catalog Numbers: 1) 60-9500-120 & 2) 60-9500-INT. Thermal Ligation and Cutting Energy Source.

Reason

Miscalibration of the Energy Source monitoring function, which may incorrectly sense the handpiece temperature as higher than the actual handpiece's temperature. This causes some devices to generate a "Check Seal" message with an audible alarm and to stop the heating cycle.
