Recall Insight
This recall's affected scope, documented in the Recall Profile below, stays within a single-region or limited-distribution footprint. Distribution scope (see Distribution below) directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.
Within the same product category the archive holds 6 closely related recalls, 6 from FDA Devices - clustering in a narrow category often points to a systemic quality-control or supplier issue rather than a one-off defect. Always verify the recall number against the official agency record before acting.

Product description
GE Healthcare, TRAM MODULE, High-acuity patient monitoring. Product Usage: The TRAM Module is intended to provide uninterrupted monitoring of physiologic parameter data on adult, pediatric and neonatal patients during transport from one area of the hospital or facility, and monitoring system, to another. K900540: TRAM modules are intended for use under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner or by personnel trained in its proper use. The intended use of TRAM modules is to provide uninterrupted monitoring of physiologic parameter data on adult, pediatric and neonatal patients during transport from one area of the hospital or facility, and monitoring system, to another. The TRAM module functions as a transport monitor during transport, and in the bedside monitor during ICU or OR monitoring. Physiological parameter data includes ECG, invasive blood pressure, non-invasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry, cardiac output, temperature, and respiration. TRAM modules acquire, process and store information regarding these parameters. TRAM modules incorporate different monitoring capabilities based on their configuration. K011000: The TRAM 2001 Module is intended for use under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner or by personnel trained in its proper use. The TRAM 2001 Module is intended to provide uninterrupted monitoring of physiologic parameter data on adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients during transport from one area of the hospital or facility, and monitoring system, to another. During non-transport monitoring, the TRAM 2001 Module functions in the bedside monitoring system. Physiological parameter data includes ECG, invasive blood pressure, non-invasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry, cardiac output, temperature, and respiration. The TRAM 2001 Module acquires, processes and stores information regarding these parameters. The device is intended for use in a professional medical facility, such as hospital, clinic, surgical center or doctors office. The TRAM System can be used in multiple areas such as operating room (OR), post anesthesia recovery (PARR), critical care, surgical intensive care, coronary care, medical intensive care, pediatric intensive care, or neonatal intensive care. The device is intended for use as part of a transport monitoring system for intra-hospital transport. K053121: The TRAM Module is intended for use under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner, or by personnel trained in its proper use.

Reason for recall
Intermittent noise on ECG and/or Respiration waveforms associated with movement of the ECG cable connector on the DASH, PDM, and/or Tram Module. May result in reduced ECG, Respiration and arrhythmia detection performance.
