Product
Responder 5 is a nurse call communication system that connects patients with staff in a hospital. The nurse call system also connects team members and departments from radiology, physical therapy, transport, environmental services and more. Responder 5 is used in hospitals and long term patient care facilities to allow for remote communications between patients and patient monitoring devices and healthcare providers
Reason for recall
A counterfeited electronic component was identified in the products affected. The component, a data transceiver (transmitter/receiver), is associated with the intercommunication of these devices in the Responder 5 system across the L-Net data path. Failure of a data transceiver results in the loss of nurse call functionality in the associated room, and may disrupt communications on the L-Net run
