Edwards Lifesciences recalls specific oxymetry cables due to inconsistent crimping causing intermittent communication issues. Affected cables have listed serial numbers; stop using if you own one.
Intermittent communication due to inconsistent crimping of connectors onto cables.
Edwards Lifesciences is recalling certain oxymetry cables that may have inconsistent crimping, leading to intermittent communication problems. This could cause inaccurate oxygen saturation readings during medical monitoring.
The cables may have inconsistent crimping of connectors, causing intermittent communication between the oximeter and the patient's catheter. This can lead to inaccurate oxygen saturation readings during medical monitoring.
Healthcare providers using the HemoSphere oxymetry cables for continuous oxygen saturation monitoring are most at risk. Patients receiving care with these cables could experience inaccurate readings.
Check if your oxymetry cable has a serial number from the list: 13710131, 13710130, 13710129, 13710115, 13710113, 13710025, 13710027, 13710028, 13710029, 13710030, 13710031, 13710041, 13710043, 13710045, 13710050, 13710051, 13710056, 13710057, 13710058, 13710061, 13710062, 13710063, 13710064, 13710066, 13710069, 13710070, 13710084, 13710086, 13710089, 13710092, 13710093, 13710094, 13710098, 13710099, 13710100.
