Spacelabs Healthcare recalls Model 91496 Multi-parameter Command Modules with Masimo or Nellcor options due to potential cardiac output measurement errors that may lead to delayed care or fluid overload.
Multi-parameter command module has a circuit board issue and when in Auto mode, Cardiac Output (CO) measurement may activate early, resulting in Bad Curve error with no CO measurement or Irregular Curve error with CO measurement not automatically excluded, which may result in inaccurate readings, or the need of additional readings, which may lead to delayed care and/or fluid overload.
Spacelabs Healthcare is recalling its Model 91496 Multi-parameter Command Modules with Masimo or Nellcor options because a circuit board issue can cause inaccurate cardiac output readings. This may require additional measurements or lead to delayed care and fluid overload in patients.
The circuit board issue causes the device to activate early in Auto mode, resulting in either a 'Bad Curve' error with no cardiac output measurement or an 'Irregular Curve' error where cardiac output isn't automatically excluded. This can lead to inaccurate readings, requiring additional measurements and potentially causing delayed care or fluid overload.
