IFU update; in-line valve, with pressure relief seal may leak when used with ventilator; don't use in neonates/infants, with target tidal volumes less-than50mL or less-than10kg- at high risk of cardiopulmonary/neurological compromise due to unrecognized hypoventilation, updates for continued use in others before design update; leak may cause respiratory acidosis, hypoxemia, or respiratory failure.
Percussionaire
Due to internal venturi component getting transiently stuck in the forward position within the breathing circuit and may cause a reduction of amplitude and volume of ventilation.
As a result of product complaints, breathing circuits are experiencing discolored fluid which are formed when therapy was being given with specific medication through the nebulizer cup. Discoloration is caused by a reaction between medicated mist and an inadvertent/unapproved addition of a nickel coating on the spring component.
Updated labeling to ensure that blue cap on in-line valve is removed, prior to delivery of (Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation) IPV therapy.

Due to an assembly error within the breathing circuit, their pressure output of the breathing circuit kit can be affected and have severe impact to the end user
Breathing circuit reservoir bag may be assembled at the wrong attachment point, which will result in less than optimal therapy.
Note this recall occurred in 2020 and 2021. Reports of screen freeze on visual displays of waveform analyzers that are paired with ventilators. Subsequently, waveform analyzers were serviced to install PAL microprocessor chips and firmware.
