Noah Medical recalls Galaxy System (GAL-001) due to power supply failures that could cause aborted procedures and lung injuries during bronchoscopy. Affected units have specific serial numbers.
Bronchoscopic visualization system power supplies have defective semiconductor components that may fail unexpectedly, which could result in an aborted procedure since it is a non recoverable failure. Manual removal of the bronchoscope when the system is not functioning can increase the chance of injury to the tissues of the lung as the scope is withdrawn including the possibility of pneumothorax.
Noah Medical is recalling its Galaxy System (GAL-001) bronchoscopic visualization devices because their power supplies may fail unexpectedly, potentially causing procedure interruptions and lung injuries if the scope is removed improperly.
The power supply's semiconductor components can fail unexpectedly, causing the system to stop working mid-procedure. If the bronchoscope is manually removed while the system is malfunctioning, it could injure lung tissue, including causing a pneumothorax.
Healthcare providers using the Galaxy System for bronchoscopy procedures are most at risk. Patients undergoing these procedures may face lung injuries if the system fails during use.
Check for the Galaxy System (GAL-001) with serial numbers starting with CRB-1502 through CRB-1532. This device is used for bronchoscopic procedures in medical settings.
Ensure the power supply is functioning properly before use to avoid unexpected failures.
Reach out to Noah Medical for guidance on safe use or potential remedies if the device is affected.
