Plain-English summary
Preventice Services, LLC is recalling eight BodyGuardian Heart Remote Monitoring Kits. Each kit consists of two BG Heart monitors (Models BC-1001-A or BC1001-D) and a paired cell phone (Models BP1008 or BP10014). The affected kits are identified by Version 2.3 phone software and specific kit IDs: BG2570727, BG2565845, BG2567817, BG2566832, BG2566830, BG2570699, BG2566530, and BG2570700.
The recall is due to a nonvalidated association between the phone software and the heart monitors, which may result in inaccurate data collection and transfer to the monitoring center. Consequently, the patient's report generated by the device should not be used to evaluate their medical condition.
The affected kits were distributed nationwide to Alaska, Alabama, Georgia, New Jersey, Ohio, and Texas. There was no foreign, military, or government distribution. Consumers should stop using the device for medical evaluation and contact the recalling firm for instructions.
