Xhibit Telemetry Receiver recalled by Spacelabs Healthcare

Timeline

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

Telemetry receiver systems may experience a Windows proxy Issue causing the system to shut down and restart (Offline displayed), lasting approximately 1 to 1.5 minutes, which will cause temporary loss of monitoring. If a clinical event occurred during this period, staff may not detect until the system restarts; necessary clinical intervention could be delayed.

Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
