Reason for recall
Ventilator Printed Circuit Board Assembly may have two separate capacitors that may fail, which may result in the ventilator either shutting down during use, thus necessitating use of an alternate form of ventilation, or the shutdown alert alarm fails to alarm effectively during shut down, which may result in respiratory failure, hypoventilation, low oxygen saturation, hypoxia, treatment delay.
What the classification means
- Class I: FDA's most serious category: there is a reasonable probability that using or being exposed to the product will cause serious health problems or death.
