Recall details

Recalling firm

Reason for recall
Transcutaneous pCO2-electrodes were wrongly coded as: pO2 electrode on the hardware plug for the firm's TCM series monitors. This causes the monitor to interpret the electrode wrongly, causing it to fail all calibrations and never get ready for use.
Action taken
Radiometer contacted the affected U.S. customer and informed them of the recall via telephone on September 27, 2011. Radiometer requested the return of the affected product received from the firm. For questions call (440) 871-0463.
