Reason

Certain Auriga consoles may exhibit faster than normal power degradation due to a potential issue in the mechanical cooling system that could lead to a low power error (1301) being displayed on the screen. The console is designed to stop emitting laser pulses and enters a stand-by mode after a low power error message.

Action

Boston Scientific issued to the user level the correction/removal via a customer notification letter via FedEx or hand delivery by a Boston Scientific agent on 4/9/19. Letter provides recommendations to the user until a field repair can be completed or a replacement console can be provided. A Boston Scientific representative will be in contact with you directly to schedule a field repair or replacement at your facility. The console can continue to be used during this time following the recommendations within the letter.
