GE B125P Patient Monitor CO2 Display May Show Inaccurate Readings at High Altitudes
GE is recalling B125P patient monitors because CO2 measurements may be inaccurate when used at non-sea-level altitudes in mmHg or kPa mode.
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.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a patient monitoring device with a measurement accuracy defect affecting a critical care parameter. No hospitalizations or injuries have been reported. The hazard represents a risk-of-harm scenario where inaccurate CO2 readings could affect clinical decisions. This meets the rubric criterion for Score 3: risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
