Reason for Recall
ECG interpretation feature issues. False measurements reported when the algorithm cannot determine P wave or QRS axis. The Median Complex Report displays the representative beat 25% larger than actual signal input. When a patient date of birth is imported from an external source, the ECG interpretation algorithm uses the default age of 50, and interpretive statements may be incorrect.
