Physio-Control, Inc. is recalling 622 LIFEPAK 15 Masimo Rainbow Sensors used for monitoring vital signs in emergency medical settings. The recall was issued because an error message can appear on the monitor, preventing medical personnel from measuring a patient's carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin levels. No injuries or incidents have been reported, but healthcare providers are advised to stop using affected sensors and contact the manufacturer or their distributor for a replacement.
A technical error message prevents the sensors from monitoring specific blood hemoglobin levels, which could delay critical assessment and medical treatment during life-support protocols. This issue could prevent clinicians from recognizing dangerous blood conditions in emergency situations.
