Reason for Recall

Potential for device to overheat during operation if the circulation pressure calibration was not performed or had been performed incorrectly, and the low-pressure alarm is not triggered.

Firm Action

Getinge notified consignees on about 08/29/2025 via letter. Consignees were instructed that Getinge service technicians will be proactively reaching out to ensure affected devices are calibrated appropriately. In the meantime, Getinge has developed a verification procedure to ensure that the circulation pressure in standby mode is correctly calibrated to 0.0 kPa. If the value deviates, recalibration by a qualified technician is required. The verification of the circulation pressure shall be performed by the operator or Getinge technician. If the value deviates from 0.0 kPa out of allowed tolerances (1 kPa), stop using the device immediately and work with your Getinge service technician to arrange recalibration. Consignees were also instructed to ensure all caregivers and users of the affected product are made aware of the recall and to complete and return the provided response form. ***UPDATE 10/16/2025: Firm notified FDA of an expansion to include additional OUS units and one additional complaint. ***UPDATE 03/02/2026: Firm notified FDA of an expansion to include additional OUS units and one additional complaint.
