FDA (Devices) recall action 85908
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 2 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 2 pages.
Some Intellivue MX700/MX800 Patient Monitors were delivered with defective power supplies. The defective power supplies might energize the metal parts of monitor if the grounding instructions were not followed, and may also cause the monitor to stop operating or prevent it from being switched on.
