Medivance is recalling 1,654 units of Neonatal ArcticGel Pads used in temperature management systems. These pads are experiencing reduced water flow, which can prevent the system from properly heating or cooling a newborn patient. This defect can lead to ineffective temperature regulation during critical medical procedures. Consumers and healthcare providers should check their inventory for specific reference and lot numbers and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
Reduced water flow within the pads prevents the temperature management system from maintaining the correct body temperature for the infant. This failure can result in the patient becoming too hot or too cold, potentially leading to serious health complications for vulnerable neonates.
