GE Healthcare recalls certain Giraffe Warmers due to incomplete electrical safety testing, risking leakage current exceeding safety limits. Affected units may cause injury to infants.
GE HealthCare has become aware that complete electrical safety testing was not conducted during manufacturing of certain Giraffe and Panda iRes Warmers. There are multiple electrical safety protections included in the product design. However, because the electrical safety testing in manufacturing was incomplete for these devices, there is the potential for leakage current to exceed IEC 60601 limits.
GE Healthcare is recalling specific infant radiant warmers because incomplete electrical safety testing during manufacturing could cause leakage current to exceed safety limits. This poses a risk of electrical injury to infants using the warmer.
The warmers were manufactured without complete electrical safety testing, which could lead to leakage current exceeding safety standards. This might cause electrical injury to infants if the warmer is used improperly.
Parents or caregivers of newborns using the recalled GE Giraffe Warmers. Infants who are unable to regulate their body temperature are most at risk.
Check for the model number M1118179-01090979 on the warmer. The serial number GBW24230381SA indicates the specific affected unit.
Look for the model number M1118179-01090979 on the warmer's label.
