Patient Monitors

If ventilator is on internal battery, not intended to serve as a primary power source, low/critically low battery alarms will sound, but a fault leads to sudden power loss. If power fails, then ventilation stops and a Total Power Failure (TPF) alarm should sound, but it's powered by a supercapacitor, which degrades over time, which may cause TPF alarm to sound for less than 2 minutes or not at all

Packs contain recalled components (equipment drapes, table cover, and surgical room turnover (SRT) kits).

Power Management PCBAs may malfunction, causing a power failure leading to ventilator loss of function.

Epiphany, now a Baxter Healthcare company, is issuing an Urgent Medical Device Correction for the Cardio Server E3 ECG Management System software listed below due to a report of the caliper tool becoming non-responsive, preventing the caliper function from being used temporarily on software versions v6.1.x, v6.2.x, and v7.0.x of the E3 user interface.

Degrading capacitors on the control board of ventilators and spare parts may leak electrolyte onto the control board causing a short circuit on the board and/or the capacitor to lose function and lead to interruption of ventilation.

The One-Way Valve, 22F x 22M may stick and prevent or reduce the flow of ventilated air or oxygen.

Presence of polyether polyurethane (PE-PUR) and emission of 1,3-Dichloropropan-2-ol that exceed the acceptable uptake level during continuous use (>30 days) in pediatric patients.

Due to a software anomaly after approximately 91 days of cumulative use, the ventilator may stop and enter the ambient mode without prior notice.

Draeger has become aware of instances where the device stopped working when in use when transitioning from battery to AC operation.

Devices were imported with Japanese Language and NIST Oxygen Gas Fittings and retrofitted, may pose a serious health risk as the gas pathway of these devices may be contaminated.

Vyaire Medical identified two patient safety risks during the use of the bellavista 1000 and bellavista 1000e: 1. Under certain conditions of use, the touchscreen may become unresponsive and the device application stops responding (APP Hang). When this occurs, if the user continues to interact with the touchscreen, a message will appear that states DeviceSoftware.Application is not responding or a decommission screen will appear on the user interface. The ventilator will issue both an audible and visual alarm. Ventilation continues without interruption with the settings applied prior to the APP Hang error. 2. The potential for a use error has been identified if the operator applies the proposed settings without confirming the settings are suitable for the patient.
