Kent Imaging SnapshotGLO wound imaging device recalled for battery charging failure
What this means
The SnapshotGLO device's software cannot recognize when its battery has fully discharged into a low-power shipping mode. When this happens, the device will not resume charging when plugged in and becomes temporarily unusable until the issue is corrected.
- Contact Kent Imaging if your device fails to charge after full discharge.
- Do not attempt to force charging or disassemble the device.
The agency's original wording
The software controlling the wound imaging device's battery charging circuit was not designed to recognize and recover a battery that has fully discharged into a low-power "shipping mode." When this occurs, an affected device will not resume charging when reconnected to power and becomes temporarily unusable/ unavailable for wound imaging until corrected.
