Barco N.V. is recalling 221 NexxisOR system components, including specific MNA-420, MNA-440, MNA-620, and MNA-640 encoder and decoder models. These devices, which are used to manage audio and video signals in operating rooms, may have duplicate network identification addresses (MAC addresses). If two or more affected units are used in the same system, it can cause the display to flicker, signals to drop out entirely, or the system to fail to recognize connected medical devices. No injuries have been reported, but these failures can lead to significant delays or prolonged surgical procedures.
The duplicate addresses cause network conflicts that interrupt critical audio, video, and control signals during medical procedures. This reliability failure may result in surgeons losing their primary display view or being unable to access connected video sources, potentially extending the time a patient is under anesthesia or delaying life-saving interventions.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
