Reason for Recall

GE HealthCare has become aware that complete electrical safety testing was not conducted during manufacturing of certain Giraffe and Panda iRes Warmers. There are multiple electrical safety protections included in the product design. However, because the electrical safety testing in manufacturing was incomplete for these devices, there is the potential for leakage current to exceed IEC 60601 limits.
