title: Alarms may be inaudible in some Gambro Artis dialysis systems.
abstract: In Gambro Artis dialysis systems with software version 6.04.16, a problem with the audible alarm mechanism may prevent users from hearing alarms. The unit will still display visual alarm indicators. Gambro is replacing the audible alarm mechanisms in affected units at no cost as part of an upgrade. Until the upgrade is performed, facilities with affected systems should inform users that alarms may be inaudible and should ensure that units are positioned so that users have clear, unobstructed views of status lights and displays.
