Mediana Vital Signs Monitor May Fail to Power Up or Respond

Mediana AVSM3 SNF vital signs monitors may fail to power up or have unresponsive button controls, potentially preventing patient vital sign monitoring. The company is recalling 618 units distributed in Wisconsin.

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: The device is classified as FDA Class II with no reported hospitalizations or injuries. However, a vital signs monitor that fails to power up or has unresponsive controls is a risk-of-harm product, as it could prevent critical patient monitoring. Score is High (3) per the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary
