Reason

GE Healthcare has become aware through complaints of a potential safety issue with its Invasive Blood Pressure Cable made for use with a Spectramed / BD invasive blood pressure transducer. Due to use of an incorrect O-ring, the mating of the cable with the transducer is faulty. This situation inhibits blood pressure measurement from being monitored correctly.
