Prucka 3 Amplifier capacitors could fail during cardiac monitoring procedures
Capacitors in Prucka 3 Amplifiers used with CardioLab and ComboLab cardiac systems could fail, causing display oscillations and preventing visualization of heart electrical activity waveforms.
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.
Our severity reasoning: This is a risk-of-harm medical device used in cardiac monitoring procedures where the potential consequences are significant (loss of critical ECG monitoring data), but no actual injuries or hospitalizations have been reported. This fits the Score 3 criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
GE Medical Systems Information Technologies Inc is recalling the Prucka 3 Amplifier Model #P1801PA and spare part #5875569. These amplifiers are components used with CardioLab AltiX and ComboLab AltiX cardiac recording systems in healthcare settings to record and display heart electrical activity during electrophysiology and hemodynamic monitoring procedures.
Capacitors in the affected amplifiers could fail, resulting in transient oscillations on the display and the inability to view surface and intracardiac electrocardiogram (ECG) waveforms. This malfunction occurs in equipment used to monitor patients during cardiac procedures.
The recall affects approximately 145 units distributed worldwide. In the United States, distribution included Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington.
