Plain-English summary
Pacific Medical Group Inc. is recalling 5,897 Ultrasound Transducers (M2736A) that may have been serviced or remanufactured using non-OEM equivalent components. These components have not been appropriately verified or validated. The affected units were serviced between September 2, 2015, and April 2, 2019.
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. It may also lead to a lack of electrocardiography tracing, patient or clinician burns, and delays in detecting maternal or fetal distress.
The recall covers units distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States and in specific countries such as Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. Users should stop using the affected transducers and contact Pacific Medical Group for further instructions.
