Plain-English summary
NovaSignal Corp. is recalling 45 NovaGuide 2 Intelligent Ultrasound systems distributed across the United States and Canada. The affected models are NSC-NVGSYS2 (U.S. devices) and NSC-NVGSYS2-CA (Canadian devices), distributed to facilities in 17 U.S. states (Massachusetts, Texas, New York, Minnesota, Arizona, Alabama, Colorado, California, Ohio, Missouri, Florida, Tennessee, New Jersey, Georgia, Oklahoma, Kentucky, and Washington).
The recall addresses a manufacturing defect in which the grounding cable of the ultrasound system could inadvertently disconnect during use or handling. When the grounding cable becomes disconnected, it creates three hazards: electrical shock to users or patients, electrical interference with normal system operation, and equipment malfunction.
Healthcare facilities operating these devices should immediately verify whether their equipment is affected by checking the serial numbers provided by the FDA against their own devices. If an affected unit is identified, contact NovaSignal Corp. for instructions on repair, replacement, or other remedial actions.
