    Reason

    IFU and Patient Manual updated to describe Expected Alarm Duration. The Instructions for Use (IFU) is being updated to advise clinicians that alarms that resolve after a very short period may mean there is an intermittent problem and the cause of the alarm can be evaluated by analysis of the controller log files. The Patient Manual (PM) is being updated to instruct patients to contact their clinicians if they cannot identify an alarm before it is cleared as it might mean there is an intermittent problem. NOTE: this update is included in the February 2021 Urgent Medical Device Notice also covered in recalls 87456 and 87604
