## Details

- Record Type: CHINA_PRODUCT_RECALL
- Title: Ohmeda Medical recalls products including infant incubators.
- Company Name: Ohmeda Medical
- Publication Date: 2017-01-19
- Product Name: Infant incubator, multi-functional incubator, phototherapy equipment (trade name: Giraffe), baby warmer, baby radiant warmer
- Recall Reason: GE Healthcare recently became aware of a potential safety issue related to overheating of American-style power cords. The affected power cord is a type manufactured by Electri-Cord known as a "Taller Bridge" cord (i.e., the power cord has a black connecting bridge around the plug). Overheating of the power cord could cause fire, burning, smoke, or sparks at the connection point between the power cord and the wall outlet, resulting in heat injury. No injuries have been reported.
- Discovering Company: GE Healthcare Systems Trade Development (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.
- Manufacturing Company: Ohmeda Medical
- Summary: On January 19, 2017, the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) published a recall notice regarding several medical devices manufactured by Ohmeda Medical. GE Healthcare Systems Trade Development (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. served as the responsible agent in China. The affected products included various models of infant incubators, multifunctional incubators, phototherapy equipment (Giraffe), infant warmers, and baby radiant warmers. The recall was initiated due to a potential safety issue involving specific US-style "Taller Bridge" power cords, manufactured by Electri-Cord, which could overheat. This defect posed a risk of fire, burning, smoke, or sparks at the power cord's connection point, potentially causing heat injuries. While the risk was significant, no injuries were reported. Ohmeda Medical voluntarily recalled these products, with the issue first identified around December 2016. Importantly, the problematic batches were confirmed not to have been sold or imported into China. Consequently, the required action for stakeholders in China was to contact GE Healthcare for any inquiries. Additionally, the NMPA requested that provincial, autonomous region, and municipal food and drug administrations enhance their oversight and management of such products.
