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 medical device recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. However, inaccurate tissue oxygen readings could lead to inappropriate clinical treatment decisions, qualifying it as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Edwards Lifesciences, LLC is recalling 8,389 units of the FORE-SIGHT ELITE Tissue Oximeter module (Model HEMFSM10), a medical device used to monitor tissue oxygen saturation levels. The recalled devices were distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States and to numerous countries internationally.
The tissue oximeter module may display inaccurately low oxygen saturation values when using the large sensor in certain body locations, particularly the arms and legs. While the direction of oxygen level changes remains accurate, the magnitude of those changes may be larger than actual. Healthcare providers should be aware that these inaccurate readings could result in unintended or inappropriate treatment decisions.
