GE Healthcare recalls ECG trunk cables that may reduce energy reaching patients during defibrillation, potentially limiting successful defibrillation. Affected models include 3/5-lead, 6-lead, and 12-lead cables with specific catalog numbers.
ECG trunk cables and leadwires may reduce the amount of energy reaching the patient during defibrillation, potentially limiting success of defibrillating the patients rhythm.
GE Healthcare is recalling certain ECG trunk cables that could reduce the energy delivered to patients during defibrillation, which might make defibrillation less successful. This is a safety issue for medical professionals using these cables in emergency situations.
These ECG trunk cables may not deliver enough electrical energy to the patient during defibrillation, which could lead to unsuccessful treatment of life-threatening heart rhythms. This risk is specific to emergency cardiac care situations.
Medical professionals who use GE ECG trunk cables for patient monitoring are most at risk, particularly those in emergency settings where defibrillation is critical.
Check for catalog numbers 2106305-001 through 2106311-002 on the cables. The cables are labeled with 3/5-lead, 6-lead, or 12-lead configurations and come in lengths of 1.2 m/4 ft or 3.6 m/12 ft.
Look for catalog numbers 2106305-001 through 2106311-002 on the ECG trunk cables.
