Medtronic is issuing a voluntary field corrective action for all its Newport" HT70 and Newport" HT70 Plus ventilators because they may shutdown spontaneously during normal operation without an accompanying alarm.
A defective electrical component in the battery charging circuit in two lots of the ProBP 2400 may potentially cause an over-voltage battery charging condition when the device is connected to the external power supply/battery charger. This potential defect resides with the device, not the battery. The over-voltage condition can result in high NiMH battery temperatures that, in some cases, can reach levels sufficient to cause melting of the plastic battery door and other adjacent plastic and foam device components.
The V60 Ventilator with Version 2.20 software installed may falsely detect that the blower motor has stalled. If this condition occurs, the software will cause the ventilator to shut down (Vent Inop) and display Error Code 100E. Ventilatory support will cease.
Oxygen tubing and the oxygen connector of the Hamilton-MR1 could potentially become loose during the preparation for ventilation.
The seal between the balloon and the housing may leak.
Blackrock Microsystems, LLC announces a voluntary field action for the Blackrock NeuroPort Biopotential Signal Processing System because the Neural Signal Amplifier and the Patient Cable are incorrectly labeled as Type CF Applied Parts.
Masks in this lot, labelled and sold as 62702 vented Quattro Air FFM size Medium actually contain a non-vented (NV) Quattro Air FFM Large mask.
Isolated episodes of leakage at the check valve were found
