Augustine Surgical has recalled 20 units of Model A136 and 7 units of Model A138 HotDog Return Electrode accessory connector cables. These cables are used with warming blankets and mattresses to help manage patient body temperature. The recall was initiated because the cables are experiencing connectivity failures, causing the system to display a "Check Neutral Electrode Contact" error message. There have been no reported injuries related to this connectivity issue.
A connectivity error causes the patient warming system to stop working properly. This failure could result in the loss of temperature management for a patient during a medical procedure, potentially leading to unplanned cooling of the body.
Used in conjunction with Warming Blankets and Mattresses. Recall #: Z-1171-2025.
