MedComp recalls C3 Wave App v. 2.0.5 due to ECG waves not appearing after iOS 12 update, risking incorrect PICC placement.
When the iPad is updated with Apple iOS software version 12, the C3 application malfunctions. Upon launching a new procedure, the ECG waves do not appear on the screen, in surface or internal mode. If the C3 application is not operating properly, the PICC procedure must be completed without using alternate methods to confirm PICC tip placement.
MedComp recalls its C3 Wave App version 2.0.5 because it stops showing ECG waves when updated to iOS 12. This could lead to incorrect PICC placement during procedures if the app isn't working properly.
After updating to iOS 12, the app may not display ECG waves during procedures. This means healthcare providers can't confirm PICC tip placement using the app, potentially leading to incorrect placements.
Healthcare providers using the C3 Wave App v. 2.0.5 with iOS 12 updates are most at risk. Patients receiving PICC procedures may be affected if the app malfunctions.
Check for the C3 Wave App version 2.0.5 on your device. The recall applies to all units sold with iOS 12 updates.
Verify your C3 Wave App version is 2.0.5 by checking the app store or device settings.
Update to a newer version of the C3 Wave App if available to ensure ECG waves display properly.
The app may not show ECG waves after iOS 12 updates, which could lead to incorrect PICC tip placement during procedures.
