What this means for you

Plain-English summary
Pacific Medical Group Inc. is recalling 1,603 units of the External Toco Transducer (M1355A) that may have been serviced or remanufactured using non-OEM equivalent components. These components have not been appropriately verified or validated. The affected units are those serviced between October 20, 2014, and April 2, 2019.
The recall is due to the potential inability of the devices to accurately detect and measure fetal heart rate, maternal peripheral oxygen saturation, uterine activity, temperature, or maternal blood pressure, as well as the lack of electrocardiography tracing. The source text also notes a risk of patient or clinician burns and a delay in detecting maternal or fetal distress.
The affected devices were distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States and in specific countries such as Belgium, Argentina, Mexico, Canada, and others. Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using these devices and contact Pacific Medical Group Inc. for further instructions.
