GE Healthcare Finland recalls specific models of CARESCAPE Canvas Smart Displays due to potential monitoring loss during power outages, which could delay patient condition recognition. Affected units include various model numbers and serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
GE HealthCare has become aware of the potential for loss of monitoring on CARESCAPE Canvas 1000, CARESCAPE Canvas Smart Display, and certain versions of CARESCAPE B850 and CARESCAPE B650 monitors if, following the replacement of the CPU timekeeper battery, a mains power loss occurs during active monitoring. In the unlikely event that this occurs, it can result in the displays or monitors not turning on, after the mains power is restored. This can result in a delay in recognizing changes in patient condition until a replacement monitor is connected.
GE Healthcare Finland is recalling certain CARESCAPE Canvas Smart Displays that may lose patient monitoring during power outages, potentially delaying detection of critical changes in a patient's condition. This is a rare but possible issue that could affect patient safety if it occurs.
If the CPU timekeeper battery is replaced and a power outage happens while the monitor is active, the display may not turn on after power is restored. This could delay recognizing changes in a patient's condition until a replacement monitor is connected.
Healthcare professionals using the specific model numbers and serial numbers listed in the recall notice are most at risk. Patients using these monitors could experience delays in recognizing changes in their condition if a power outage occurs during active monitoring.
Check the model numbers listed in the recall (e.g., 5514418, 5514418-01059642) and the serial numbers provided for each model. The affected units are specific to the listed model numbers and serial numbers.
Review the model numbers listed in the recall notice to determine if your device is affected.
Compare your device's serial number with the list of affected serial numbers provided in the recall notice.
