Nihon Kohden America Inc has recalled 16 units of the Life Scope BSM-3000 Series Bedside Monitor, specifically model BSM-3572A. A software defect causes the device to trigger a false "SpO2 Probe Failure" alarm, which incorrectly indicates that the blood oxygen monitoring sensor has failed. These monitors are used in medical facilities to track vital signs, and the affected units were distributed in Iowa. Consumers should contact the manufacturer or their healthcare provider for specific instructions regarding this software issue.
The software issue causes false alarms that can distract medical staff or lead them to believe that critical blood oxygen monitoring is unavailable, potentially delaying patient care or causing unnecessary troubleshooting during medical procedures.
