Plain-English summary
Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. is recalling the AquaC UNO H dialysis machine (Fresenius US-Version 24-0970-1, Vivonic Part Number G02000966-US). The recall affects 277 units distributed nationwide in the United States.
The internal ethernet cable may be misaligned, which can allow the cable's outer jacket (insulation) to become compromised due to high temperature exposure. When the insulation fails, the internal ethernet cable may conduct electrical current to the ethernet port on the outside of the device.
Service technicians and authorized operators who touch or manipulate the ethernet port face a risk of electrical shock.
Affected healthcare facilities and service technicians can refer to FDA recall notice Z-1463-2022 for the complete list of affected serial numbers and additional details.
