  • Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ:IARTinitiated an immediate voluntary removal of all CereLink intracranial pressure monitors after customer reports about monitors whose pressure readings were out of range. 
  • The company believes that out-of-range readings are principally caused by electrical interference from the external environment and/or interference from a component on the monitor's circuit board. 
  • These out-of-range readings have occurred at a low incidence rate and at a limited number of sites; however, the company has decided to remove all CereLink monitors out of caution.
