Anyone else having trouble with the GEM Hemochron 100 ACT device? Just been sending a few back to Werfen to be repaired- device not charging 100% and Ethernet plug snapping off or won't connect. We have 24 Gem Hemochron 100 ACT devices. Most have the ethernet port before the USB-C upgrade. The ones I sent out related to a charging port issue, Werfen automatically replaces the existing port with the new USB-C.

I've sent back a few. One had a pump failure. Replaced the cord port on two. One had so many problems, they replaced the whole device and gave me a new one. Luckily, they were all under warranty. We seem to have ironed out all the kinks for now..

We have 42 GEMs waiting to go live and found 10 devices with the batteries reading 0% while being plugged in. We were told to switch out batteries with a device that was reading 100%. We ended up having to order new batteries and they aren't cheap!
