TruSignal adult and pediatric ear oximeter sensors recalled for voltage hazards

GE Healthcare's TruSignal Adult/Pediatric ear oximeter sensors are recalled worldwide due to potential reduction of defibrillation energy, risk of unintended electrical contact, and inaccurate oxygen measurement.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I designation requires a minimum severity score of 4 per regulatory guidelines. The identified hazards—potential reduction of defibrillation energy, unintended electrical contact, and measurement inaccuracy—represent significant risks to patient safety.

Plain-English summary

GE Healthcare Finland Oy has recalled 23,537 TruSignal Adult/Pediatric ear oximeter sensors worldwide. The recalled products include model REF TS-AP-10 (10-pack) and REF TS-AP-25 (25-pack), identified by GTIN 00840682103220.

The FDA has classified this as a Class I recall due to three potential safety hazards: reduction of energy reaching the patient during defibrillation, potential contact with unintended voltage, and inaccurate measurement of oxygen saturation levels. These hazards could affect the accuracy of patient monitoring and create electrical safety risks.

These sensors are used in healthcare settings to monitor patient oxygen levels. Healthcare facilities using these devices should verify their device model numbers and contact GE Healthcare, their healthcare provider, or facility biomedical engineering team for instructions on device inspection, replacement, or corrective action.
