Description
Spiegelberg Brain Pressure Monitoring System Probe 3PN, REF: SNDI3.1.531FV534P and Probe 3PS, REF: SNDI3.1.63/FV535P Product Usage: lntracranial pressure measuring probes are used to measure intracranial pressure (intracranial pressure, ICP), so the pressure in the head.
Reason
In the vast majority of products specified, a shrinkage of the air chamber during sterilization has occurred. Because of these false high readings were displayed in the lower measuring range from 0 to 20 mmHg. The observed measurement error was particularly at the lowest end of the range (to 0 mmHg) up to 8 mmHg.
