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 is a Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard (loss of monitoring and delayed patient condition recognition) constitutes a risk-of-harm scenario. Per the rubric: 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' receive a High (3) rating.

Plain-English summary

GE Healthcare is recalling CARESCAPE Canvas 1000 monitors and related display models due to a potential monitoring loss that can occur after CPU timekeeper battery replacement. If a mains power loss happens during active monitoring after such battery service, the affected monitors may fail to turn on when power is restored.

This failure prevents clinical staff from viewing patient vital signs and other monitoring information on the affected displays. According to the manufacturer, the loss of monitor display can result in a delay in recognizing changes in patient condition until a replacement monitor is connected.

The recall affects approximately 9,267 units distributed worldwide. The affected models are used in healthcare facilities for continuous patient monitoring.

Affected facilities should contact GE Healthcare regarding the recall for guidance on service, repair, or replacement of affected units.
