Outset Medical, Inc. is recalling 2,422 Tablo Hemodialysis Consoles because a internal blood leak sensor may have decreased sensitivity. This defect can prevent the device's mandatory alarm from triggering when a blood leak is occurring, leading to undetected blood loss. These systems are used to treat patients with kidney failure in hospitals and clinics across 46 states and the UAE.
If the device fails to detect a blood leak and the alarm is delayed, patients may lose up to 300ml of blood. This blood loss can cause serious symptoms including dangerously low blood pressure, severe fatigue, muscle cramps, dizziness, headaches, nausea, and shortness of breath.
