Root cause (FDA determination)

Device Design

Action the firm took

GE Healthcare notified customers on about 04/28/2020 via "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION" letter. Customers were informed that certain Giraffe Incubators and Giraffe OmniBeds manufactured before 2012 can deliver a different environmental oxygen level than what is displayed by the device, if a certain optional component referred to as the Servo Oxygen Module is installed in the device. Instructions included that if the Giraffe Incubator or Giraffe OmniBed device was manufactured before 2012 AND has the oxygen sensor part number M-43GE installed, the Servo Oxygen feature will need to be disabled or the device will have to be taken out of service. Instructions were provided for more information regarding product configurations impacted along with the detailed safety instructions. Step 1. Locate the serial number on the back of your Giraffe Incubator or Giraffe OmniBed. Check the 4th letter of the serial number. If the 4th letter is in the range of R through Z, the device can be used, no further action. If the 4th letter is in the range of A through Q, proceed to step 2. Step 2. Visually check to see if the Servo Oxygen module is installed in your Giraffe Incubator or Giraffe OmniBed. Look under the power cord inlet to see if the metal box and fittings, indicative of the presence of the Servo Oxygen module, are present. If the Servo Oxygen module is NOT installed, the device can be used, no further action. If the Servo Oxygen module is installed, proceed to step 3. Step 3. Determine whether Servo Oxygen software revision needs to be checked: a. If the 4th letter of the bed serial number is in the range from A through M, proceed to step 4. b. If the 4th letter of the bed serial number is in the range of N through Q, turn the device power off and then back on and watch the screen to determine the Servo Oxygen software revision. Note this screen will appear for 3 to 5 seconds. If the software revision identified is 1.60, the device can be use
