Reason for recall

Abbott is advising customers that a small number of CardioMEMS(R) Hospital Electronics Systems (Model CM3000) and Patient Electronics Systems (Model CM1100) may deliver a system error, known as Error 5. While this error message is intended to present if the electronics system exceeds a certain temperature, these units may deliver a false Error 5 message due to an incorrectly configured component within the device electronics.

FDA-determined cause: Process control
