Reason/Issue Mindray has identified the following issues:
- The 12-lead Standard and Extended Measurement Report will include false measurements when the P wave or QRS axis cannot be accurately determined by the algorithm.
- The Median Complex and Extended Measurement Report will display the representative beat as 25% larger than actual signal input.
- When a patient date of birth is imported into the V-Series from an external source, such as Mindray’s Gateway, e-Gateway, Panorama Central Station or Panorama WorkStation, the age will not pass into the 12-lead ECG interpretation algorithm. The algorithm analysis will use the default adult criteria of “50 year adult” in which case the interpretive statements may be incorrect, depending on the actual age of the patient.

Any output of the 12-lead ECG interpretation data (e.g. printed records, ECG management system, etc.) will include the issues described above. There have been no reports of injuries associated with these issues.
