United StatesAuris Health’s MONARCH Platform bronchoscopy system (catalog numbers MON-000005-01, MON-000005-01R, MON-000006, MON-000006-RFB, MON-000008; software versions 2.2.2, 2.2.3, 2.2.4, 2.2.5, 4.1.1) is affected. The device was recalled because a software issue can reinitialize the application to the patient-left position after a restart, causing unanticipated robotic arm movement toward patient-left that may contact the patient or endotracheal tube.

The hazard
Device for bronchoscopic visualization, patient airway access has software issue: if application restarts after patient-side selection, prior to bronchoscope loading, application will re-initialize to patient-left position; and if right position was previously selected, this may lead to unanticipated robotic arm positioning toward patient-left, may result in contact with patient/endotracheal tube.
What to do
Don't stop taking a prescribed medicine without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first. For other products, stop using them and ask the pharmacist, seller or maker what to do.
