There is a potential for inadvertent tidal volume knob movement from the original setting when set at high (1000-1500 mL) and low (70-150 mL) settings.

Machines equipped with BPM3 Blood Pressure Modules (Blood pressure monitor TM-2917B with firmware version S005) will not record Blood Pressure measurements and does not alarm if the cuff tubing is kinked close to the cuff.

There is a potential for inadvertent tidal volume knob movement from the original setting when set at high (1000-1500 mL) and low (70-150 mL) settings.

There is a potential for short term (<7 days) elevated levels of formaldehyde emitted from the device into the patient breathing airpath in specific conditions.

Firm has released a mandatory software update Version 1.05.10.00 and a User Manual addendum for affected ventilators. These updates resolve safety issues identified in earlier recalls.

Any single affected ventilator should only be used for the 10- year labelled service life, but if longer ventilatory support is required using more than one ventilator over time, the use of these devices for more than 14 years of cumulative duration may pose harm to health due to a volatile organic compound (VOC), 2-propanol, 1,3-dichloro released from some components in the ventilator gas pathway

Potential of the handset plug to disconnect from the nebulizer port on the blue ventilator adapter. The handset plug is required to ensure proper operation and ventilator gas flow.

Cardinal Health is following the FDA's recommendations regarding the disposition of affected Jiangsu Shenli Medical Production Co. Ltd (Shenli) Syringes in the Merit Medical¿ supplied finished kits. Merit Medical¿ supplied finished kits are included as components in Presource kits. According to the FDA s communication, these Shenli syringes, located inside a Merit Medical¿ kit component, cannot be distributed for use as they could contain a significant change or modification in design which could significantly alter the safety or effectiveness of the finished kit product, resulting in the risk of patient harm such as inaccurate dosing and a leaking device.

Potential for certain Life2000 ventilator systems to either fail to charge or have intermittent charging behavior due to damage to the battery charger dongle. Damage of the battery charger dongle prevents the ventilator's internal battery from charging.

Operator's Guide & Quick Reference Guide (QRG) ZOLL 731 Ventilator for MRI Compatible Devices. Patient Safety Ventilator MRI information omitted from the manuals. Update to the instructions ensures safe distance from the MRI to ensure proper function of the ventilator and reduce the risk of delay in ventilator therapy

Ventilator may enter sensor fail mode, ventilation may not re-initiate, after patient is reconnected, which may cause hypoxia, if this sequence occurs: 1)User presses O2 enrichment, 2)User disconnects endotracheal tube for open suctioning, 3)Sensor error initiated, sensor fail mode occurs, 4)Patient is re-connected with sensor fail mode active, 5) Ventilation is not re-initiated by the ventilator.

Use of the blood pressure cuffs could result in inaccurate non-invasive blood pressure measurements.
