Instrumentation Laboratory: GEM Premier 3000 PAK Cartridges Recalled for Inaccurate Oxygen Readings

Agency Publication Date: November 21, 2023

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Instrumentation Laboratory is recalling approximately 7,344 GEM Premier 3000 PAK cartridges used for blood testing. Internal testing found that these cartridges may report oxygen levels (pO2) that are higher than they actually are when levels are below 60 mmHg. This defect can lead to a false positive result, meaning the device might show a patient has enough oxygen when they are actually suffering from low blood oxygen (hypoxemia).

Risk

The positive bias in oxygen readings can cause medical professionals to fail to detect or adequately treat low blood oxygen levels. This can result in a dangerous delay in necessary medical treatment for patients who require supplemental oxygen or other interventions.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have any of the affected GEM Premier 3000 PAK cartridges by checking the Part Numbers and Lot Numbers on the packaging.
