Reason for Recall

ECG trunk cables and leadwires may reduce the amount of energy reaching the patient during defibrillation, potentially limiting success of defibrillating the patients rhythm.

Firm Action

The firm, GE Healthcare, initiated a "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION"letter dated 05/10/2019. The letter explained the reason for recall and provided the following safety instructions: The affected ECG trunk cables and leadwires may continue to be used for monitoring only. Discontinue use of the affected ECG trunk cables and leadwires for patients where an arrhythmia that might require defibrillation is foreseeable, and in these patients use unaffected ECG trunk cables and leadwires. If defibrillation turns out to be unexpectedly needed when the affected ECG trunk cables and leadwires are being used just for monitoring, follow the instructions below: 1) Disconnect ALL ECG leadwires from the patient. 2) Defibrillate the patient per hospital protocol. 3) If it is possible to monitor the patients rhythm using defibrillator ECG leadwires or pads please do so. If this is not possible, reconnect ECG leadwires after the patients rhythm has been defibrillated. The recalled products will be replaced. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this notification, please contact GE Healthcare Service at 1-800-437-1171 or your local Service Representative.
