It also recommended that users collect corresponding evidence with spectral waveforms that would confirm or deny findings based on ECG, in order to avoid potential risks for misdiagnosis. The firm planned to exchange the faulty hardware component in the system. Customers would be contacted to schedule for the hardware exchange.
