GE Healthcare recalls CARESCAPE B650 monitors with specific model numbers. If the CPU timekeeper battery is replaced and a power loss occurs during active monitoring, displays may not turn on after power restoration, potentially delaying patient condition recognition.
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 is recalling certain CARESCAPE B650 medical monitors that may temporarily stop working after a power loss during active monitoring. This could delay recognizing changes in a patient's condition until a replacement monitor is connected.
