Recall StatusOpen, Classified
Date Initiated2026-08-11
Product Quantity15,455 cables
Reason for Recall
Due to incorrect switching of Channel 1 and 2 on the module and flag labels on the tissue oximetry cables.
Firm Action
On 08/11/2026, an "URGENT: Medical Device Correction" letter was email or FedEx'd informing customer that, based on customer feedback, BD has identified that during manufacturing, the laterality identification labels may be missing or inaccurately placed on the device. There is potential that the labels on the green cables may have been switched, with the channel 1 cable labeled as channel 2, and the channel 2 cable labeled as channel 1. This will lead to a mismatch as to the left and right values displayed on the monitor and what the labels indicate on the cables.
Customers are instructed to check devices in clinical use and in inventory:
1. Verify for the presence of the flag, sensor, and channel labels on the device.
2. Verify that the flag and sensor labels correspond to the correct channel label
on the housing (See picture included in the customer notification for correct label
placement).
3. If either of the labels are missing, or the flag label and/or the sensor label do not
match the channel label on the housing, contact Technical Support for further
assistance.
If the flag and sensor labels correctly correspond to the channel labels, as seen in the
pictures, there is no further action required.
4. Provide a copy of this notification to any customers and/or facilities you may have distributed devices to.
5. Post this notice on or segregate the impacted unit(s) until correction is completed.
6. Complete the attached Customer Response Form and return it to the BD contact noted on the form whether or not you have any of the impacted products so that BD may acknowledge your receipt of this notification.
