Masimo Hemoglobin Pronto-7 with Rainbow 40 Technology for easy-to-use spot-check testing of hemoglobin (SpHb), SpO2, pulse rate, and perfusion index Pronto-7 rainbow 4D Reusable Sensors are an accessory to the Masimo Rainbow SET Pronto-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter. The Masimo Rainbow SET Pronto-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter (instrument) with Masimo Rainbow SET Technology is developed to simultaneously and non-invasively measure functional arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), total hemoglobin (SpHb)
Masimo Corporation is initiating a voluntary recall on the Pronto-7 rainbow 4D Resuable Sensor because when performing an SpHb measurement, the sensor may incorrectly read actual finger temperature. As a result, Pronto-7 Check Pulse CO-Oximeter may provide an incorrect SpHb measurement.
Masimo sent an Urgent Voluntary Medical Device Recall letter dated December 21, 2010, to all affected customers via FexEx on December 23, 2010. The Urgent Voluntary Recall Notice provides instructions on the actions that the customers and field personnel must take to correct the issue. Customers were instructed to choose any of the three options below. Option 1 would ensure accurate results are achieved when using the Pronto-7 rainbow 4D Reusable Sensor with the Pronto-7 Spot Check Pulse CO-Oximeter. (1) Option 1: Prior to performing an SpHb measurement, wait at least seven (7) minutes with the patient's finger inserted inside the Pronto-7 rainbow 4D Reusable Sensor. The seven minute wait will help ensure that the actual finger temperature and the sensor temperature are close to equalized. Masimo is working to quickly develop a revision to the Pronto-7 rainbow 4D Reusable Sensor that will address this issue and plan to have it available in early 2011. We will contact you when the new revision of the sensor becomes available to replace the current sensor; (2) Option 2: Return only the Pronto-7 rainbow 4D Reusable Sensor and request a loaner Pronto device with rainbow DCI sensor (part numbers 9167 and 2646) to be utilized until the new version of the sensor is available for use with the Pronto-7. Please let us know if you wish to try the Pronto or see the product brochure for Pronto. We will contact you when the new revision of the sensor becomes available; (3) Option 3: In addition, the Pronto-7 rainbow 4D Reusable Sensor and the Pronto-7 Spot Check Pulse CO-Oximeter may be returned for a refund. Customers were also instructed to complete the Tracking/Verification Form provided with the recall notice and fax it to Masimo at: 1-949-297-7499.
Rainbow DC-I-DC Pulse CO-Oximeter Sensor used with the Masimo SET Rad 57 Pulse CoOximeter
Internal testing revealed that some of the sensors might not meet the accuracy specifications of : 2% for SpO2 and of: 3% for SpCO, due to the tolerance of one of the emitter LED's used in the calculation ofSpO2 and SpCO. The SpO2 reading may have a negative bias of up to 1 % and the SpCO reading may have a negative bias of up to 4%.
Masimo notified all customers by letter sent via Federal Express who were shipped Rainbow DC- I-DC sensors to return them to Masimo for repair or replacement. A Tracking/Verification form will be mailed with the letter to be faxed back to Masimo. Masimo will repair or replace the returned units and return them back to the customer.
