Plain-English summary
Pacific Medical Group Inc. is recalling 628 units of the GE Corometrics Nautilus Toco Transducer w/wing (2264LAX), FFCM3260. These fetal transducers were distributed in the United States and several foreign countries between February 6, 2016, and April 30, 2019, prior to receiving the required 510(k) and international clearances.
The recall is due to the lack of regulatory clearance, which raises concerns about the device's ability to accurately detect and measure fetal heart rate, maternal peripheral oxygen saturation, uterine activity, temperature, and maternal blood pressure. The source text notes that device failure could lead to a lack of electrocardiography tracing, patient or clinician burns, and interruption of monitoring. These issues could result in a delay in detecting maternal or fetal distress.
The affected units were distributed across 43 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, as well as in Canada, Colombia, France, Great Britain, Italy, Mexico, and the UAE. Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using these devices and contact the recalling firm for further instructions.
