Quantity: Total of V60/V60 Plus = 23,115 systems

Why Was This Recalled?

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.
