Recall Z-1501-2015— SenTec AG

Class II · Terminated

Class II FDA medical device recall by SenTec AG, initiated 2015-03-25, terminated 2016-02-05. It names one FDA 510(k) clearance: K101690. Product: Sentec, V-Sign Sensor 2 (REF VS-A/P/N), Reusable / Nonsterile / Waterproof, SenTec AG, CH-4106, Therwil, Switzerland. The SenTec Digital Monitoring System (SDMS) is used for continuous and non-invasive monitoring of transcutaneous carbon dioxide tension (tcPCO2), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and pulse rate (PR).. Reason: SenTec is voluntarily replacing V-Sign Sensors 2 due to pre-mature deterioration of a part of the PCO2 measuring unit and thus disabling PCO2-monitoring. This means that the affected sensors reach their end-of-life earlier than normally expected requiring the sensor`s replacement. There is no increased risk for the patient or operator, because the aforementioned deterioration results in the sens.
