Welch Allyn Connex Vital Signs Monitor Recall: Undeclared Natural Rubber

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling certain Welch Allyn Connex Vital Signs Monitors due to an undeclared natural rubber band in the packaging of reusable blood pressure cuffs. The undeclared rubber may pose an allergen risk to individuals with natural rubber latex sensitivity.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This recall involves allergen mislabeling (undeclared natural rubber latex) on a medical device with potential to harm a sensitized population. No illnesses are reported in the source, but the hazard is a known allergen, which falls under the High severity criterion for allergen mislabeling without reported illness.

Plain-English summary

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling certain configurations of the Welch Allyn Connex Vital Signs Monitor (40,166 units worldwide) because the packaging of reusable blood pressure cuffs contains an undeclared natural rubber band.
