Covidien is recalling bedside SpO2 patient monitors that may not sound alarms properly, which could lead to delayed treatment or respiratory failure. This is especially risky for patients with low oxygen levels who need constant monitoring.
The monitors may not alert users to low oxygen levels, causing treatment delays or respiratory failure. The device's alarm system can be silenced or ignored, which is dangerous for patients who need continuous monitoring.
Patients using home healthcare or hospital bedside monitors with the listed model numbers are most at risk. Healthcare providers and caregivers who rely on these monitors for patient safety are also affected.
Check for model numbers like PM100N, 10005941, DLPM100N, or the serial numbers listed in the recall notice. These monitors were sold with specific language and region codes.
Ensure alarms are not silenced or reduced in volume, as per the operator's manual.
