What the firm is doing
On June 19, 2026, the firm issued an "Urgent Medical Device Recall" letter to consignees, which detailed the hazard, mandatory boot-up safety protocols, and manual override steps. The firm has developed software patch Version 12.1.7 (v1), and 12.2.6 (R-net) (released patch on June 17 2026) which corrects the profile retention database loop, ensuring the device consistently locks onto the last saved user profile during boot. This software patch was released to all users on June 17, 2026. Customers should update the software as soon as possible. Until the update is installed, do not activate neutral calibration in the admin menu (only applicable to those with access to the admin menu.)
