Potential issues with ventilator navigation ring interface and liquid ingress: 1) The navigation ring may become inoperative or operate intermittently; 2) The navigation ring may cause ventilator parameter values to change erratically during setting entries and adjustments.
Ventilator may experience potential issues with the backup battery failures: 1) if the battery is allowed to over discharge, or 2) if the ventilator is stored for an extended period of time without being plugged into AC power.
Under certain conditions, there is a risk for fire.
In-house lab observations and customer reports of overheating and/or thermal damage to the battery pack, create the risk of exposure to smoke or hazardous materials, which may result in burns and/or bronchospasm,
Flow sensors could have damaged tubes in the form of small punctures or cuts.
Flow sensors could have damaged tubes in the form of small punctures or cuts.
A potentially shorter than specified nebulizer connector may result in difficulty in installing the Aeroneb Nebulizer module to the Servo-i device successfully.
Firm has received 6 complaints that the Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME) disconnected from the closed respiratory circuit during use. If the HME separates, the ventilator circuit may not provide adequate ventilation to the patient, potentially resulting in lack of oxygen leading to hypoxia or death.
A component issue may cause the AED to abort a shock delivery or reset unexpectedly, which may cause an affected device to fail to delivery shock, and/or to fail to deliver shock in range.

Solder connection failure on Power Management printed circuit board assembly of ventilators may cause 1) Blower to lose power, spool down, and trigger visual and audible High Priority Check Vent alarm indicating a need for alternative ventilation, or 2) Intermittent connection may disrupt expected operation and trigger unexpected shutdown without alarm. Failures may lead to hypercarbia/hypoxemia
Automated External Defibrillators may not detect a patient connection due to mechanical wear-through of the contact plating on the therapy connector. The wear-through could result in the device not recognizing a patient is connected which could result in a delay in treatment
The G6 bellavista 1000 US ventilators may experience intermittent failures: Lack of acoustic high priority alarm, presence of a 'no alarm' condition, or presence of non-responsive touch screen.
The outlet hole of the exhalation valve control pressure tube on the ventilator may become obstructed by the protective cover.
