Action Taken
On January 31, 2020, the firm initiated customer communications via Urgent Medical Device Recall letters. Customers were informed of the potential mis-wiring issue. Clinicians are advised to discontinue use of the probes to minimize adverse events. Hitachi Service will contact each affected site to schedule a service visit. Hitachi will test all affected probes and remove and replace any probes that do not pass the test. The correction is expected to begin February 2020.
