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 medical device recall. The potential hazards—defibrillation energy loss, unintended electrical voltage exposure, and measurement inaccuracy—could affect patient safety, though no illnesses or injuries have been explicitly reported in this notice.
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.
