Two devices were labeled with the same serial number

Software 2.51 and Lower with Installed CO2 Measurement Option, may result in Restart of the Ventilator, brief cessation of ventilation can occur and loss of PEEP for approx. 8 seconds

Potential defective gas inlet pressure regulator within ventilator which could result in gas releasing noise from the bottom of the ventilator, a High Air/O2 Inlet Pressure alarm, a High/Low O2 alarm, or could not pass device Check prior to use.

It has been identified that ventilators equipped with High Flow Therapy (Software Versions 3.00 and 3.10), that includes a designed safety mechanism that limits the amount of pressure that can be delivered to a patient, in situations where the system pressure reaches the maximum limit and sounds the "Cannot Reach Target Flow" alarm , the system will reduce pressure and simultaneously decreasing the flow rate to a level below what was set by the clinicians. If the reason for the increase in pressure is not resolved, the ventilator will continue to provide the lower flow rate, which result in patients experiencing oxygen desaturation which can be characterized as moderate or severe hypoxemia.

The polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) foam may degrade into particles which may enter the devices air pathway and be ingested or inhaled by the user, and the PE-PUR foam may off-gas certain chemicals.

Due to a component failure, ventilators may unexpectedly shut down or have a loss of blower function while in patient use. The shutdown potentially prevents the ventilator from providing ventilation therapy.

Three separate and unrelated problems attributed to the software used in the Evita V600, Evita V800, Babylog VN600 and Babylog VN800: 1. Restart of ventilation unit. 2. Incorrect FiO2 high and FiO2 low alarms. 3. SmartCare/PS (SC/PS) suspends weaning

Certain devices were built with motor assemblies that could contain non-conforming plastic material. This could result in 1. Exposure to off-gassing of Volatile Organic Compounds not normally present creating a potential biosafety or toxicological hazard and 2. Sudden failure of the device causing a Ventilator Inoperative condition with the potential for asphyxia if not immediately identified and addressed by the care provider.
