Description

SenTec V-Sign Membrane Changer Insert (VS-MCI), 5 pieces. The SenTec V-Sign Membrane Changer Insert is indicated for use with the V-Sign Membrane Changer only.

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.
