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 recall, which the rubric floors at Severe; no injury is reported in the source, so it does not escalate to Critical.

Plain-English summary

The Giraffe Warmer with Integrated Resuscitation System (iRes) and Panda Warmer with iRes, product identifiers M1118179 and M1112198, are being recalled. Devices are impacted only if service blender M1091607-R was installed during the period identified in the recall notice. The action covers 550 units, of which 367 are in the United States and 183 outside it.

The stated reason is that the blender knob shaft can loosen, which can affect the delivered oxygen concentration. According to the manufacturer, the system can deliver an oxygen concentration that does not match the intended concentration set by the user, potentially resulting in hypoxia or hyperoxia in the patient. The FDA classified the action as Class I, its most serious classification.

The recall notice lists distribution as pending. The warmers are installed in healthcare facilities rather than sold to consumers.

Facilities should identify affected units using the product identifiers and the service blender UDI-DI 00813841020010 and follow the instructions issued by the manufacturer.
