Recalled Products

B) Arctic Sun Temp Management System, 5000

Reason

This recall is being initiated by Bard Canada in order to inform users of a safety concern while using temperature simulator keys with the Arctic Sun Temp Management System. Two adverse events have been reported to Bard Medical Division. In each instance, a temperature simulator key (Product code 748-00 and as part of service kit 771-00) was connected to the patient cable instead of the patient temperature probe. Due to the false patient temperature reading from the temperature simulator key, improper targeted temperature therapy was delivered to the patients.
