Plain-English summary

GE Healthcare Finland Oy is recalling 512 TruSignal Integrated Ear Sensor devices with GE Connector (REF TS-E2-GE) worldwide. These devices are oximeter sensors used for monitoring oxygen saturation levels.

The FDA has classified this as a Class I recall due to three potential safety hazards. The sensors may fail to deliver adequate energy levels during defibrillation, users may be exposed to unintended electrical voltage, and the devices may provide inaccurate measurement readings in patient monitoring.

Hospitals and healthcare facilities currently using these devices should contact GE Healthcare Finland Oy for information regarding recall response, including device replacement or repair options.
