What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a medical device that provides inaccurate physiological measurements, which poses a significant risk of harm to patients.

Plain-English summary

Draeger Medical, Inc. is recalling 260 units of the Draeger Infinity Acute Care System (IACS) Monitoring Solution, Catalog Number MS20783 (Infinity MCable-Dual Hemo). These are physiological patient monitoring systems distributed in California, Illinois, and Massachusetts.

The recall is due to a defect where the displayed value for invasive blood pressure measurement may differ from actual patient values. This inaccuracy can occur if liquid enters the cable connection, which may happen if the Dual Hemo MCable is used in a non-vertical position, upside down, or laid on the floor or patient bed.

Healthcare facilities and users should stop using the affected cables and contact Draeger Medical for instructions on replacement or repair.
