    Reason

    Merge Healthcare has been informed by Schiller AG (Baar, Switzerland) of an issue with the Schiller ARGUS PB-3000 Patient Data Module (PDM) where certain units trigger an error message on the Merge Hemo Client (Pressure Sensor Defective) during non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurements, specifically when the initial inflation pressure is set in the high-pressure range (>240 mmHg). The ARGUS PB-3000 is a vital signs monitoring instrument intended to be integrated into the Merge Hemo System. No other components of the Merge Hemo System are affected.
