RAPIDPOINT 500 Blood Gas System

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

The hazard

There are potential drug interferences from Perhexiline Maleate or Atomoxetine Hydrochloride that may cause falsely elevated sodium results reported on the RAPIDPoint 500 and RAPIDPoint 500e Blood Gas Systems. The erroneous sodium levels with positive bias may lead to unrecognized hyponatremia and/or the inappropriate treatment of hypernatremia may lead to iatrogenic hyponatremia, resulted in a delay in patient diagnosis and optimal patient management.
