Philips recalls chest pneumograph accessories due to missing natural rubber latex warning. Healthcare workers using MRI monitoring systems may face allergy risks if the device contains latex. Affected units were sold since 1996 with specific model numbers.
The labeling of the Philips Chest Pneumograph does not include a statement indicating that the product contains natural rubber latex.
Philips is recalling chest pneumograph accessories used in MRI monitoring systems because the product label does not state it contains natural rubber latex. This could cause allergic reactions in people sensitive to latex, especially healthcare workers who use the device frequently.
The chest pneumograph contains natural rubber latex, which can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. The label does not warn about this material, so healthcare workers using the device may develop allergies or reactions during MRI monitoring procedures.
Healthcare professionals using the chest pneumograph with MRI monitoring systems are most at risk. Patients and others who do not use the device regularly are less likely to be affected.
Check for model number BSM43-0752-05 on the device label. The product was sold since 1996 and is used with MRI patient monitoring systems for respiration sensing.
Look for model number BSM43-0752-05 on the device label to confirm if it's affected.
