Reason

It has come to the attention of MAQUET that in certain rare instances, the CARDIOHELP-i device may display an error message with audible alarm, indicating "battery defective." The alarm will occur-upon start up or when the main power supply is unplugged from the main power source. The human machine interface touch screen of the CARDIOHELP-i device may gradually become black due to the human machine interface (HMI) back light shutting down.
