FDA Recall Terminated

GE Healthcare, Dash 3000, Dash 4000 and Dash 5000. Product Usage: The intended use of the system is to monitor physiologic parameter data on adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. K073462: The Dash 3000/4000/5000 patient monitor is intended for use under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner. The intended use of the system is to monitor physiologic parameter data on adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. The Dash 3000/4000/5000 patient monitor is designed as a bedside, portable, and intra-hospital transport monitor that can operate in all professional medical facilities including but not limited to: emergency department, operating room, post anesthesia recovery, critical care, surgical intensive care, or neonatal intensive care areas located in hospitals, outpatient clinics, free-standing surgical centers, and other alternate care facilities. Physiologic data includes but is not restricted to: electrocardiogram, invasive blood pressure, inoninvasive blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, cardiac output, respiration, pulse oximetry, carbon dioxide, bi-spectral index, impedance cardiography, oxygen, and anesthetic agents as summarized in the operators manual. The Dash 3000/4000/5000 patient monitor is also intended to provide physiologic data over the UNITY NETWORK indirectly to clinical information systems (via our Enterprise Gateway) and allow the user to access hospital data at the point-of-care. The information can be displayed, trended, stored, and printed. The Dash 3000/4000/5000 patient monitor was developed to interface with nonproprietary third party peripheral devices that support serial data outputs. K992929: The Dash 3000 Patient Monitoring System is intended for use under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner. The intended use of the system is to monitor physiologic parameter data on adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. The Dash is designed as a bedside, portable, and transport monitor that can operate in all professional medical facilities and medical transport modes including but not limited to: emergency department, operating room, post anesthesia recovery, critical care, surgical intensive care, pediatric intensive care, or neonatal intensive care areas located in hospitals, outpatient clinics, freestanding surgical centers, and other alternate care facilities, intra-hospital patient transport, inter-hospital patient transport via ground vehicles (i.e. ambulance, etc.) and fixed and rotary winged aircraft, and prehospital emergency response. Physiologic data includes but is not restricted to: electrocardiogram, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, pulse, temperature, cardiac output, respiration, pulse oximetry, and carbon dioxide as summarized in the operators manual. The Dash 3000 Patient Monitoring System is also intended to provide physiologic data over the Unity network to clinical information systems and allow the user to access hospital data at the point-of-care.
