What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and the source text explicitly lists 'patient/clinician burns' as a possible adverse clinical impact, which aligns with the rubric criteria for Severe (Class II with injury reports).

Plain-English summary

Pacific Medical Group Inc. is recalling 466 units of the Toco M2734A fetal/maternal monitor. These devices may have been serviced or remanufactured using non-OEM equivalent components that were not appropriately verified or validated. The recall covers units serviced between September 2, 2015, and April 2, 2019, which were distributed nationwide in the United States and in various countries worldwide.

The use of unverified components may result in the inability 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. The recall notice also identifies a risk of patient or clinician burns and a potential delay in detecting maternal or fetal distress.

Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using the affected Toco M2734A monitors immediately. Pacific Medical Group is the recalling firm and is responsible for managing the recall. Users should contact the manufacturer for instructions on how to return or replace the affected devices.
