Description
Lifescreen Apnea is Lifescreen ECG Screening System, Version 3.31. Lifescreen Apnea is indicated for screening adults for the probability that they suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, mixed apnea or hypopnea, in order to evaluate the necessity for a polysomonographic examination. The ECG recording may be obtained at any location specified by a physician including home, hospital or clinic. Subjects screened for sleep apnea should have periods of sleep of at least 4 hours duration during which the ECG is predominantly sinus rhythm in nature.
When Lifescreen is left open and a new recording is loaded from Sentinel Cardiology Information Management System, customers can get corruption in the data or a wrong ECG after the first 32 hours. Both recordings have to be longer than 32 hours for this to happen.
Spacelabs Healthcare sent an "URGENT-MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION" letter dated November 11, 2011 to all affected customers. The letter described the product, problem, and actions to be taken by the customers. Customers are advised to close Lifescreen every time before loading another recording from the Sentinel database. Spacelabs is in the process of upgrading software and will contact customers to arrange for an update to affected systems. If you have any questions about this corrective action program, please contact Spacelabs Healthcare at 1-800-522-7025 and select 2 for Technical Support.
