Reason

This communication from Medistim was issued due to the possibility that flow measurement channels on Medistim systems can operate with a significant zero-point offset value, caused by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Medistim has therefore further issued updated Instructions For Use (IFU) which clarifies and emphasizes the importance of routinely performing the probe and system functionality test prior to use in order to ensure that the system and probes function appropriately. There is no product retrieval associated with this field safety notice. This is a notification only, pertaining to the updated IFU.
