(The differences in the reorder numbers have to do with certain functions being installed or not installed.) Product Usage: The 9200 vital signs monitor is intended to be used in the ICU, CCU, OR, ER, RR, Labor and Delivery rooms, special procedure labs and other areas of the hospital or clinic where low end monitoring systems are needed. The basic monitor package includes ECG (3 lead/5 lead), impedance respiration (RSP), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), pulse oximetry (SpO2), two invasive blood pressures (P1 and P2), and two temperature channels (T1 and T2). Capnography (ETCO2, inCO2, RR), a two-inch internal, graphical/alphanumeric printer and a battery are provided as options. The device permits patient monitoring with adjustable alarm limits as well as visible and audible alarm signals. The device will provide fast, reliable measurements on patients ranging from neonate to adults when using the appropriate BCI accessories. The impedance respiration and capnography parameters are available in adult and pediatric mode only and are not intended for neonatal monitoring. The monitor may be connected to the Life Sensing Instrument Company, Inc. HTS 820 Central Station for remote monitoring of patient status. The monitor is not intended for home use. The monitor is not intended to be an apnea monitor. It was not designed or validated for use as an apnea monitor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Contact your healthcare provider and the device manufacturer immediately. Check whether your specific model number and lot number are included in the recall scope. For external devices, stop using the affected product and arrange a replacement. For implanted devices, do not panic — removal is typically not required unless the risk assessment clearly indicates it. Your physician will guide you based on your individual clinical situation and the FDA's recommended actions. Report any adverse effects you may have experienced to FDA MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Class I recalls indicate a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death from the defect. Class II recalls involve products that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where serious consequences are remote. Class III recalls cover products not likely to cause any adverse health consequences, typically involving technical regulatory violations. The classification guides urgency — Class I recalls require immediate action, while Class III may simply involve returning a product or acknowledging a labeling change. Always read the specific recall notice for recommended patient actions.

Report problems with medical devices to the FDA through MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088 or online at FDA.gov/safety/medwatch. Healthcare facilities are required by law to report device-related serious injuries and deaths. Patients and consumers can also report voluntarily. Include the device name, manufacturer, model number, and a description of the problem and any patient outcome. Reports from patients and clinicians help the FDA identify emerging safety signals and may trigger investigations that lead to recalls of dangerous devices.

What Should You Do?

Stop using this device if you are affected by this recall. Contact your healthcare provider and the manufacturer immediately for guidance. Report adverse events to FDA MedWatch.
