Tech Service Bulletin - TC-100 - U21-003

Models Affected: 

Approximately 120x TC-100 devices (79-422-05) produced May 2021 – through August 2021; Serial Numbers: 299368 - 303695

Issue Description:

Beginning in May 2021, a bug in the software programming caused the Model Number “TC-100” not to be programmed as expected.  79-422-05 was programmed instead.  This device model name change does not allow Vitals Mobile-TC to run.  The Vitals Splash screen launches, but the application does not open further.  On Vitals Mobile v3.8.0, the error message “Vitals Mobile-TC only works on TC-100” is behind the splash screen.  Portion of the error window becomes visible putting the TC-100 device into landscape orientation.  On Vitals Mobile-TC v 3.8.1 “Vitals Mobile-TC only works on TC-100” message appears above the splash screen.  Pressing “OK” closes the Vitals Mobile-TC app.
