Recall record

Recall number: Z-2258-2024
Classification: Class II
Status: Open, Classified
Initiated: 2024-04-22
Posted: 2024-07-03
Recalling firm: GE Medical Systems Information Technologies, Inc.
Product: Prucka 3 Amplifier Model #P1801PA used with CardioLab AltiX electrophysiology recording system and ComboLab AltiX hemodynamic and electrophysiology recording system; and Field Replacement Units spare part #5875569 (Assy CLABIII AMP 128CH 100-240V 50-60HZ).
Product code: DQK Computer, Diagnostic, Programmable
Reason for recall: Capacitors in certain Prucka 3 Amplifiers used with CardioLab / ComboLab systems could fail resulting in transient oscillations on the display and inability to view surface and intracardiac ECG waveforms.
Root cause tag: manufacturing process
FDA root cause: Process control
Action: The recalling firm issued letters on and dated 4/22/2024 via traceable means informing the consignee of the affected product details, safety issue, and actions to be taken by the customer/user. The consignee was informed they can continue to use the Prucka 3 Amplifiers with the CardioLab/ComboLab systems with the following conditions: (1) Ensure additional devices are immediately available to monitor surface and intracardiac ECG waveforms in order to complete the study (e.g. patient monitor, 3D mapping system, etc.) until the device is corrected; (2) In the event the Prucka 3 Amplifier malfunction occurs during the case with the loss of ECG waveforms, use an alternate device; (3) Ensure the hospital staff are familiar with utilizing the Direct Stimulator Connections on the CIM Block(s). This allows pacing from the stimulator if the amplifier is not functioning properly. The consignee is to ensure all potential users in the facility are made aware of this safety notification and the recommended actions. An acknowledgment form was enclosed for completion and return no later than 30 days from receipt of the letter. GE HealthCare will correct all affected devices and a representative will contact the consignee to arrange for the correction.

About this record

Sourced from the FDA device recall database and the FDA enforcement reports, both ingested from openFDA. The recall record supplies the product, the reason and the product code; the enforcement report supplies the classification. The two datasets are exported by FDA on different days, and the date above is the older of the two, so nothing on this page is newer than it says.

MDM adds the root cause tag, derived from FDA’s own root cause text, and the cross-links to the product code, the clearances named on the record and MDM coverage. Where a recall has not been joined to an enforcement report, no classification is shown.
