What happened

Covidien, LP is recalling the SonarMed AirWave Monitor Kit, a device used with endotracheal tubes that monitors patient airway status. The recalled devices experienced two defects prior to patient use: the alarm speaker failed to produce sound when powered on, and the device falsely detected sensor cable disconnections and reconnections during setup. When the monitor detected these false disconnections, it would stop monitoring the patient and switch to a calibration screen without triggering an audible alarm, creating a risk that critical patient monitoring could be interrupted without alerting clinical staff.

A total of 66 affected devices were distributed across nine states: California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas. The devices can be identified by the UDI-Device Identifier (GTIN/UPN) 00851334007001 and specific serial numbers ranging from AW0501 through AW0571. The recall source does not specify what action affected consumers should take in response to this recall.

Hazard

Prior to use on a patient, the device alarm speaker failed to annunciate on power up and the device falsely detected a sensor cable disconnect and reconnect during setup. The monitor detection of a false sensor cable disconnect and reconnect may cause the monitor to discontinue monitoring and transition into the calibration screen without an audible alarm.
