Why Was This Recalled?

Users were reporting instances of "Gas Loss in IAB Circuit" and "Gas Gain in IAB Circuit" alarms while providing therapy. An internal investigation of the complaints determined that there is a potential trigger for these alarms that was not listed in the IFU: Patient Movement (coughing, general movement, and swallowing). Blood in the circuit, kins and abrasions of the tubing/catheter and certain patient conditions could also trigger these alarms. The HHE also identified hardware issues related to these alarms.
