Datex-Ohmeda Giraffe and Panda warmers recalled for oxygen delivery malfunction risk
Datex-Ohmeda infant warmers recalled for oxygen delivery risk
A component in certain Giraffe and Panda warming systems can loosen during maintenance, causing the device to deliver oxygen at a concentration different from what the clinician set. This can result in too much oxygen (hyperoxia) or too little oxygen (hypoxia) being delivered to the patient.
- Check if your device has the affected service blender component (M1091607-R) installed during recent maintenance
- If you have one of the listed serial numbers, contact Datex-Ohmeda for instructions before using the device
- Do not operate the warmer with the affected component until you receive guidance from the manufacturer
Blender knob shaft can loosen, which can affect the delivered oxygen concentration. The system can deliver an oxygen concentration that does not match the intended concentration set by the user, potentially resulting in hypoxia or hyperoxia in the patient.
