RECALLING FIRM/MANUFACTURER
Smiths Medical PM, Inc., Waukesha, WI,
REASON Recent improvements were made to the Advisor case plastic in July 2008. The change resulted in the inserts being deeply embedded into the plastic. This affects the ability of the monitor to be secured on the wall mount bracket or roll stand bracket. If the appropriate hardware is not used there is a risk the monitor may not be adequately secured to the roll stand or wall mount, resulting in the monitor falling off. There have been no adverse events or injuries reported.

Due to this expanded recall, the Company has requested that its retailers, distributors, sub-distributors, and distributors' retailers recall the affected products with the lot codes specifically set forth below, forward all recall communications down the distribution chain, remove these products from retail shelves or warehouses, and return them to the Company. In addition, the Company has again requested that those parties that sell the affected products respond to consumer questions by telling them to throw the product away, avoid touching unsealed product with bare hands, and wash their hands thoroughly after touching unsealed product.
