GE Healthcare Recalls Giraffe Incubators and OmniBeds Due to Potential for Infants to Fall

GE Healthcare is recalling the Giraffe Incubator, Giraffe OmniBed, Giraffe Incubator Carestation, and Giraffe OmniBed Carestations because the bedside panels can be upright and look closed but not be securely latched. The portholes can also look closed when not securely latched.  If a canopy cover is used, it can hold the bedside panel or porthole door closed without being securely latched. If an infant comes in contact with a bedside panel or porthole that is unlatched, the panel or porthole can disengage and fall open, no longer protecting the infant from falling. 

The firm has received 6 reports of infant falls with injuries such as skull fractures, hematoma and edema. No deaths were reported.
