If an administrative user modifies any of the seven pre-defined Monitoring Parameters when they are attached to a medication in the drug file, a Point of Care end user will be unable to enter monitoring parameter results on the handheld.

Urgent Device Correction recall letters dated 8/29/05 were sent to the direct accounts on the same date via first class mail. The letter describes the issue with the modification or creation of a Monitoring Parameter, and informed the accounts that modifying the Monitoring Parameters could result in a potential for a patient receiving an incorrect medication or an incorrect medication dosage. The accounts were advised that administrative end users should never modify the seven pre-defined Monitoring Parameters or create new Monitoring Parameters.
