What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, this creates a risk-of-harm scenario where patient identification could be mismatched with physiological data, potentially leading to incorrect diagnosis.
Plain-English summary
Hillrom Welch Allyn Diagnostic Cardiology Suite (formerly Connex Cardio) diagnostic spirometers are being recalled due to a software issue that may cause exam files to be assigned duplicate Unique Identifiers (UIDs).
The problem occurs when medical imaging systems such as Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) rely solely on the UID to identify exam records. Duplicate UIDs could cause patient identification data to be mismatched with physiological data, creating a risk that diagnostic results may be linked to the wrong patient record.
Approximately 1,369 units have been distributed worldwide. The affected devices were manufactured by Baxter Healthcare Corporation and have specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
No illnesses or injuries have been reported related to this issue. The manufacturer is managing the recall.
