title: Certain Fisher & Paykel infant radiant warmers require inspection and possible component replacement.
abstract: In certain versions of Fisher & Paykel IW900 series infant radiant warmers, a wiring harness connector located near the heater head assembly may become damaged and overheat during routine use, potentially rendering the warmer inoperable. Although Fisher & Paykel states that the risk to patients is low, facilities with affected warmers should inspect the connectors and, if damage or discoloration is evident, contact the company to arrange for replacement of the wiring harness/connector assemblies. Fisher & Paykel intends to release an Advisory Notice to guide customers in the inspection. This problem affects 120 V and 100 V versions of the IW900 series warmers that were manufactured before October 1, 2010 (identified by serial numbers below 101001).
