An issue with the DL900 and DL950 Series Holter Recorder was recognized on January 1, 2020. This issue can prevent the recorder from operating normally. Braemar confirmed that beginning on January 1, 2020 if a AAA battery is inserted in the recorder and a user attempts to start it, the recorder will display Error: 602 and fail to function for a new patient study. There are no actions that a clinical user can take to clear this error.
