Issue

The recall is being initiated as the market surveillance activities revealed a few cases in which the internal backup battery failed spontaneously while the perseus device being operated without mains supply. This resulted in an unexpected shutdown of the device while it was running on batteries. The affected devices started with a battery status of 100%, but quickly shut down and did not trigger the alarm for low battery. A secondary acoustic alarm signal which is independent from mains and battery power was generated as specified. No patient consequences have been reported to Draeger so far.
