GE Healthcare Lullaby Incubator bedside panels may fail to latch properly
GE Healthcare Lullaby Incubator bedside panels and portholes may appear closed but not be properly latched. If impacted, these panels can disengage and fall open, creating a fall risk for patients.
What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class I recall. Per the severity rubric rule, FDA Class I recalls must score no lower than 4 (Severe). Although no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source, the serious potential for patient harm from an unlatched incubator panel justifies the FDA's Class I designation.
Plain-English summary
GE Healthcare has identified a defect affecting bedside panels and portholes on multiple incubator models, including the Lullaby, Lullaby TR, and Lullaby XP Incubators. The panels and portholes may appear closed and latched, but the latching mechanism may not be fully engaged. The presence of a visible red indicator may create the false impression that a panel is properly secured when it is not.
If a patient impacts a bedside panel or porthole that is not properly latched, the panel can disengage and fall open. This removes the protective barrier of the incubator, creating a risk that a patient, particularly an infant, could fall.
This recall affects 17 units that have been distributed worldwide.
