GE Healthcare recalls Care Plus hood door kits for potential panel disengagement if not latched, risking patient falls. Affected units include specific incubators and part numbers.
GE HealthCare has become aware that the bedside panel of Care Plus, Care Plus¿ Model 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 Incubator, Lullaby Incubator, Lullaby TR Incubator, and Lullaby XP Incubator can be upright and look closed but not be latched if the red indicator is visible. The portholes also can look closed when not latched when the portholes are obstructed e.g., hood covers. If a patient impacts the bedside panel or porthole that is not latched, the panel can disengage and fall open, no longer protecting the patient from falling.
GE Healthcare is recalling hood door kits for certain incubators because the panel may appear closed but not be securely latched. If a patient hits an unlatched panel, it could fall open and cause injury.
