  • Causa
    Bard medical division (bmd) has identified that the arctic sun 5000 temperature management system with certain serial numbers may contain electronic components that lead to a premature drainage of the internal control panel coin cell battery. the exhausted battery will prevent the arctic sun temperature management system control panel from launching software and initiating operation. this presents a potentially serious issue since the system is used to control patient temperatures within a pre-set range and has the potential of not being available to provide therapy when needed.The issue identified however does not affect an arctic sun 5000 once it is successfully powered up since the batteries are no long being called upon and the unit is operating on mains power.
