inability to reprogram one device

Possible failure of Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) devices supporting the Patient Information Center (PIC) iX system, potential for the associated PIC iX system to shut down due to the lack of power. may lead to the delay in the detection of a change in a patient condition

Product was distributed in the United States without proper regulatory approval.

There are two windows on the test device, the control line window and the test results window. The line for the test results window were misaligned. In instances of positive test results, the positivite test line may not be visible/ hidden under the cassette of the test device thus potentially leading to a false negative result.
