Temperature probe devices lack FDA clearance.
Covidien is recalling esophageal stethoscopes with temperature sensors because they lack FDA clearance. This means the devices could pose health risks if used without proper regulatory approval.
The temperature sensors in these stethoscopes have not been approved by the FDA. This lack of clearance means the devices may not function safely or accurately, potentially leading to health risks.
Healthcare professionals and medical facilities using the recalled stethoscopes are most at risk. Patients using these devices for temperature monitoring may also be affected.
Check for the model number REF: 90042 on the device. Look for lot numbers 25D1267JZX, 25E1322JZX, 25E1324JZX, or 25H0920JZX. The device also has a unique identifier UDI: 30884521820900.
