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.

Plain-English summary
GE HealthCare is recalling certain GE Panda iRES infant radiant warmers due to incomplete electrical safety testing during manufacturing. Although the devices are designed with multiple electrical safety protections, the incomplete testing means leakage current could potentially exceed IEC 60601 safety limits.
The infant warmers are used in hospital settings to provide controlled infrared heat to newborns. A total of 137 units distributed in the United States and internationally are affected, including units in Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.
Healthcare providers using affected units should stop use immediately and contact the manufacturer, Wipro GE Healthcare Private Ltd., for corrective instructions. Affected model and serial numbers are available through the FDA recall notice.
