Action |
The firm notified affected customers on December 7, 2023 via URGENT Medical Device Correction letters.
Per the letter, customers can continue to use their MINC+ device whilst awaiting the defect correction, but Cook advises customers to be vigilant and monitor for device alerts. If the device produces audible and visual alerts to indicate an error with temperature, customers must immediately move any dishes to another incubator. If no other incubators are available, the device can be reset to normal operation by switching off mains power to the device for ten seconds then turning the power back on. The software/firmware update will undergo
verification testing including compliance testing prior to release. The updated
software/firmware is expected to be available on 01 February 2024.
An authorized service agent will contact customers to arrange for the device to
be corrected at their facility. The service agent will be updating the
software/firmware of the device. |
