Labeling is of course the last resort in risk mitigation and its effectiveness is arguable when used to communicate pre-emptive measures (i.e., if you don't fully read and take it to heart well prior to use, it will not be effective). Prominence and placement is key to this type of communication.
I would agree adding the reference to a backup may be helpful. At the very least it covers your bases in terms of making the clinicians think about their protocol and including a backup.
The other thing that I would consider (you likely already have) is ensuring that the warning was implemented as a true last resort after a very robust/exhaustive
DFMEA that includes as many user driven failure modes as reasonable. Otherwise due diliegence is not complete as you have already recognized use error as a cricital risk. Hopefully you have a number of design based mitigations already in place.
The company governance (the big shots)...
a.) Do not believe in filing MDR's ever...
b.) Understand the risk of not having a backup device but, minimize it totally. We have absolutely nothing in our DFMEA nor in our IFU.
They have no interest in putting it in either, stating that Hospital protocol ensures that they have backups of everything!
A little story about hospitals and Back-Up Devices...
When my 11 lb. son was born, he was stuck in the birth canal long enough for the Doc to be extremely upset and scared...and the reason...
There are two different suction "caps" that they suction onto the baby's head, in order to have a "handle" with which to pull him/her out. One cap is large and blue, the other is smaller and pink! Obviously the blue larger one is for bigger babies (blue is for boys) and the pink smaller one is for girls...
Anyway, when my son was born, all that was 'on the shelf' was a pink cap, no blue! The pink wouldn't fit on the 11 lb. baby and they couldn't get him out of the birth canal!! They finally wound up using the "giant salad tongs", or what they refered to as the foreceps... the same ones they use in abortions. All this because they didn't have a backup on the shelf!!
NOTE: Although he was immediately rushed to the intensive care (Mom didn't even get to hold him) with a heart rate of @ 140 bpm and an Apgar score that was near stillborn, he eventually was fine, although his head was lopsided (from the "giant salad tongs") until he grew out of it @ 4 yrs old...made for some really crummy baby pics!! No, we didn't sue...
