Wipro GE Healthcare has recalled over 26,000 Care Plus and Lullaby series neonatal incubators and replacement hood kits because the bedside panels and portholes can appear closed but not be fully latched. This defect occurs if a red indicator is visible on the panel or if the portholes are obstructed by items like hood covers. If a patient impacts an unlatched panel or porthole, it can fall open, potentially leading to the infant falling out of the incubator. The recall includes various models manufactured in India and distributed worldwide between December 2023 and the present.
If the bedside panel or porthole is not securely latched, it may suddenly disengage and fall open if the infant leans against or impacts it. This creates a high risk of the infant falling from the incubator, which can result in serious physical injury or death.
