Pacific Medical Loop-Style Tocotransducers Recalled for Unverified Service Components

Pacific Medical Group is recalling Loop-Style Tocotransducers serviced with unverified non-OEM components, which may cause inaccurate fetal monitoring or patient burns.

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: The source explicitly lists 'patient/clinician burns' and 'delay in detecting maternal or fetal distress' as possible adverse clinical impacts. Per the rubric, significant injury reports or risks (burns) in a Class II recall warrant a score of 4 (Severe).

Plain-English summary

Pacific Medical Group Inc. is recalling approximately 10,911 Loop-Style Tocotransducers (Nautilus) 2264LAX. These devices may have been serviced or remanufactured using non-OEM equivalent components that have not been appropriately verified or validated. The recall includes specific service parts such as the Nautilus Toco Board, TOCO Bottom Case, TOCO Cable Assembly, and TOCO Coil with Screws.

The recall is due to the risk that the unverified components may cause the device to fail to accurately detect and measure fetal heart rate, maternal peripheral oxygen saturation, uterine activity, temperature, or maternal blood pressure. Additionally, the devices may lack electrocardiography tracing, cause patient or clinician burns, or delay the detection of maternal or fetal distress.

The affected units were distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States and in various international locations. The recall covers all serial numbers serviced between January 19, 2015, and April 2, 2019. Users should contact Pacific Medical Group for further instructions on how to address the affected devices.
