GE Healthcare recalls specific models of CARESCAPE Canvas Smart Display and monitors due to potential loss of patient monitoring during power outages after CPU battery replacement. Affected units may not turn on after power restoration, delaying critical 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 specific models of CARESCAPE Canvas Smart Display and certain monitors because a power outage after replacing the CPU battery could cause the display to not turn on when power is restored. This might delay recognizing changes in a patient's condition until a replacement monitor is connected.
If the CPU battery is replaced and then a power outage occurs while the monitor is actively monitoring a patient, the display may not turn on when power is restored. This could delay recognizing changes in the patient's condition until a replacement monitor is connected.
Patients using the recalled monitors for medical purposes are most at risk. The recall affects healthcare facilities that use the specific model numbers listed in the notice.
Check for model numbers a) 5700023, b) 5700023-02, or c) 5939590-102 on the device. Serial numbers listed in the recall notice also identify affected units.
If you have replaced the CPU battery recently, monitor for power outages to prevent potential display failure after restoration.
