Spacelabs Healthcare Model 91496 cardiac monitor recalled for inaccurate heart output readings

Certain Spacelabs Healthcare Model 91496 multi-parameter cardiac monitors have a circuit board defect. When the device is in Auto mode, the cardiac output measurement may start too early, causing errors that prevent proper readings or exclude readings that should be included. This could lead to inaccurate patient information and delayed medical decisions.

Hazard
Multi-parameter command module has a circuit board issue and when in Auto mode, Cardiac Output (CO) measurement may activate early, resulting in Bad Curve error with no CO measurement or Irregular Curve error with CO measurement not automatically excluded, which may result in inaccurate readings, or the need of additional readings, which may lead to delayed care and/or fluid overload.
