GE Healthcare 3030 Ohmeda Drive PO Box 7550, zip 53707-7550 Madison WI 53718

Manufacturer Reason for Recall | Alarm sound-It is possible that the audible alarms from the speaker from the Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Anesthesia Delivery Unit (ADU) machine may dampen or disappear as a result of normal handling of the anesthesia machine. Visual alarms on the ADU are unaffected by this condition. The dampening or absence of audible alarms on the ADU may result in a delay in treatment. |
FDA Determined Cause 2 | Other |
| Action | Customers were sent a letter dated November 16, 2005, informing them of the possible alarm failure and giving them short term and long term solutions. Short term, clinicians are to: 1) check the audio alarm prior to use; and 2) use the ADU in conjunction with functioning anesthetic agent monitor. In the long term a GE Healthcare representative will contact the facility and schedule a visit to implement the corrective action at no charge. |
