Action Details
On 4/15/2025, correction notices were mailed to customers and distributors informing them of the following:
I) The User/Operator Manual provides precautions and warnings on maintaining appropriate power or battery supply, which may reduce the risk of occurrence of an "MPM Application" software error message:
-Warning (In Chapter 2, Getting started): Ensure the latches on both sides of the battery are fully engaged prior to using the Tempus - an incorrectly fitted battery could result in the tempus losing power during use.
-Note: Before removing the battery, you must switch off the Tempus Pro by pressing the power button. Do not remove the battery when the Tempus is on (unless there is a power supply attached to the device).
II) If you have confirmed that your Tempus Pro has the standard (Louvain) algorithm, continue to follow the User/Operator Manual, which warns users to not make evaluations based solely on interpretation statements from the algorithm.
-Warning (In Chapter 6, Taking medical readings): ECG interpretation performed by software is not a substitute for review and evaluation of ECG recordings by a qualified clinician.
Keep a copy of this notice with your device until you receive the correction.
