Description

SenTec V-Sign Membrane Changer (VS-MC), 9 pieces. The SenTec V-Sign Membrane Changer is indicated for use with the V-Sign Sensor only. The V-sign Sensor is indicated for use with the SenTec Digital Monitor when continuous non-invasive monitoring of carbon dioxide tension, oxygen saturation, and pulse rate are required for adult and pediatric patients.

Reason

A manufacturing defect was observed for the membrane changer insert that does not allow electrolyte to be present under the new membrane. The PCO2 performance of a sensor without electrolyte will be deteriorated.
