FDA Comments:
On June 19, 2012, the firm sent an "Urgent Product Recall" letter to their customers with a return receipt. The letter included the required action for the firm's customers to take.
If ventilation resumes after an intermittent leak and the audible alarm stops, the firm directs users to clear the alarm indicator on the ventilator display by entering the Alarm Messages tab and pushing the alarm reset to clear the display. If the ventilator has a continuous leak and normal ventilation does not resume, the firm directs users to provide an alternate method of ventilation to the patient. The firm instructs users to constantly monitor ventilator dependent patients to ensure that if a malfunction occurs, alternate ventilation can be provided.
The firm said it would contact its customers within 10 days to coordinate implementation of corrective action.
Class 1 recalls are the most serious type of recall and involve situations in which there is a reasonable probability that use of these products will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
Health care professionals and consumers may report adverse reactions or quality problems they experienced using these products to MedWatch: The FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program1 either online, by regular mail or by FAX.
