GE Healthcare recalls Lullaby incubators with specific part numbers due to potential panel disengagement if not latched, risking patient falls. Affected units include Care Plus models 1000-4000 and Lullaby series. Check serial numbers and part numbers for recall.
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 Lullaby incubators with specific part numbers because the bedside panel might appear closed but not be securely latched. If a patient hits an unlatched panel or porthole, it could open and cause a fall. This is serious for infants in incubators.
The bedside panel can look closed but not be latched when the red indicator is visible. If obstructed by hood covers, portholes may also appear closed but not be secured. If a patient impacts an unlatched panel or porthole, it can disengage and fall open, potentially causing injury.
