Smiths Medical PM, Inc. has recalled 196 units of the Smiths Medical Surgivet Advisor Vital Signs Monitor, Model 9200, due to a manufacturing defect in the monitor's plastic casing. A change made in July 2008 caused mounting inserts to be embedded too deeply into the plastic, preventing the monitor from being properly secured to wall mount brackets or roll stands. Approximately 165 units were distributed in the United States and 31 units were distributed internationally. Owners should contact the manufacturer or their healthcare provider immediately to address the mounting issue.
The defect prevents the vital signs monitor from being securely attached to its mounting hardware. If the monitor is not properly secured, it could fall from a wall mount or roll stand, potentially causing injury to staff or patients or damaging the device, which could lead to a loss of patient monitoring capabilities.
