Why the product was recalled
Ventilator Printed Circuit Board Assembly may have two separate capacitors that may fail, which may result in the ventilator either shutting down during use, thus necessitating use of an alternate form of ventilation, or the shutdown alert alarm fails to alarm effectively during shut down, which may result in respiratory failure, hypoventilation, low oxygen saturation, hypoxia, treatment delay.
