Happy New Year all!
Does anyone out there still use the Clinitek Classics? We have quite a few classics in addition to the Status+ and Connects. It seems that the Classics had an end of life that occurred on 12/31/2020 and now mine won't save the correct date. They are defaulting to 2070. When I called Siemens they said there was a customer bulletin that went out telling about the end of life date. Was I the only one that didn't get that or know anything about it?

I have a few of those Cliniteks that only have 5 -digit Serial number.
I never got a notification then or now until I called and I want to ask for technical help to set the correct year. .
Tech support told me about end of life for those classics occurred 12/31/2020. . First I heard of it. I guess the Cliniteks contracted COVID, LOL.
Siemens is not very good about communicating any of the technical stuff about their instruments. A simple email to everyone with the attached Memo would do.
In the meantime, I told everyone to be sure to mark off the year and put 2021 until we get new ones. Not in the budget and they are not cheap anymore!.
