Skytron VGA to Fiber Converter Recall for Video Signal Failure

Skytron is recalling 11 VGA to Fiber Converter units for the SkyVision Linx 300 system due to faceplate failures that cause video signal loss on secondary displays.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves a functional failure of a secondary display component in a medical setting, but the source text explicitly states that video continues on the primary source device, indicating a limited impact on critical functionality without reported injuries.

Plain-English summary

Skytron, Div. The KMW Group, Inc. is recalling 11 units of the VGDF-SKY (R4-010-06) VGA to Fiber Converter-Single Format Faceplate. This component is part of the SkyVision Linx 300 Integration Control System, which is used for communication and visual image management in operating room suites.

The recall is being issued because a failure in the VGA faceplate results in the failure of the video signal for the SkyVision Linx 300 secondary display. According to the source text, video would continue to display on the primary source device display despite the failure of the secondary component.

The affected units were distributed in Arizona, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The specific serial numbers for the recalled units are MXDM200501769, MXDM200501773, MXDM191100421, MXDM191100422, MXDM200200161, MXDM200200162, MXDM200200163, MXDM200200164, MXDM200501770, MXDM200501772, and MXDM200501771.
