| Reason/Issue |
GE Healthcare has recently become aware of potential issues with the Carescape Monitor B850 as outlined below:
1. Carescape Monitor B850 uDOM failure. It is possible that the Carescape Monitor B850 may enter into a constant book loop causing monitor to reboot continuously.
2. Carescape Monitor B850 unstable USB communication. When the USB cable is connected to the CPU or display is insecurely connected or faulty, the monitor may reboot. Reboot may also happen if the monitor display is continuously set on and off several times.
3. Carescape Monitor B850 remote printing issue with currently printing PRN 50 recorder. If the recorder PRN 50 is busy when the Carescape Monitor B850 sends a printing request, the printing may not be saved and therefore not printed.
4. Carescape Monitor B850 reboots due to an X server freeze. |
