Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling approximately 9,347 units of its Q-Stress, XScribe, and XScribe CP Cardiac Stress Testing Systems (version 6). These medical devices are being recalled because they can produce distorted electrocardiogram (ECG) readings when a specific setting called the Source Consistency Filter (SCF) is turned on. Because these systems are used by medical professionals to monitor heart activity during exercise tests, inaccurate readings could result in an incorrect diagnosis or improper medical treatment for patients. If you believe your heart test was conducted using one of these systems, contact your healthcare provider for guidance.
The distortion in the ECG signal can make it difficult for doctors to accurately see the heart's rhythm and performance during a stress test. This poses a risk because a healthcare provider might fail to identify a serious heart condition or could make a life-threatening clinical decision based on false data.
