GE Healthcare recalls Dash 4000 patient monitors that may restart simultaneously during network overload, potentially causing disruptions in patient monitoring. Affected units were sold to healthcare facilities.
The patient monitors may simultaneously restart as designed if all are connected to the same network and a network overload occurs for a prolonged time.
GE Healthcare is recalling Dash 4000 patient monitors that could restart together if connected to the same network during prolonged overload. This could disrupt critical patient monitoring, especially in hospitals where multiple monitors are used.

Check if your monitor has the model name 'Dash 4000' and was sold to healthcare facilities. The product is used for monitoring physiologic data in adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients.
