Masimo Corporation is recalling approximately 27,209 Rad-G Pulse Oximeters because the devices may unexpectedly power off and on automatically. This defect results in a temporary loss of patient monitoring, which could be critical for those relying on constant oxygen saturation and heart rate data. These handheld devices, including models with temperature sensors and standard patient cables, are used in both professional healthcare settings and home environments. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or Masimo for further guidance on maintaining continuous patient safety.
If the oximeter shuts down and restarts unexpectedly, healthcare providers or caregivers may experience a gap in patient data and missed alarms. This loss of monitoring could lead to unrecognized respiratory distress or delayed medical intervention for patients in critical condition.
