Patient monitors may restart due to network overload caused by network configuration.
GE Healthcare is recalling two patient monitors that could restart due to network configuration issues. This could disrupt patient monitoring in hospitals if the monitors stop working unexpectedly.
Network configuration issues can cause patient monitors to restart unexpectedly. This may lead to temporary monitoring disruptions for patients who rely on these devices for critical health data.
Healthcare facilities using B20i or B20i V2 patient monitors in hospitals are most affected. Patients in hospitals during transport or care may be at risk if monitors stop working.
Check for B20i Patient Monitor or B20i V2 Patient Monitor models. These are portable medical devices used in hospitals for monitoring patients during transport or care.
Identify if your monitor is a B20i Patient Monitor or B20i V2 Patient Monitor.
The monitors may restart due to network overload caused by network configuration issues.
Unexpected restarts could temporarily disrupt patient monitoring, but the risk is low as the monitors are designed for hospital use.
Check if your monitor is a B20i or B20i V2 model. If so, contact GE Healthcare for guidance.
