Potential for the touch screen on the ventilator portion of the device to go blank when touched. Possibility that this failure may also cause mechanical ventilation to stop.
|
| Action |
On 06/24/2010, Spacelabs began mailing the URGENT-MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION letter to their US consignees and e-mailed the same letter to their foreign consignees.
The letter describes the touch screen of the BleaseSirius Anesthesia machine goes blank when touched and the possibility that this failure may cause the mechanical ventilation to stop.
The consignees are asked to weigh the benefits versus the risk when deciding to use the device or not until the firm upgrades the device. The letter also instructs the consignees to notify their staff about the possibility of the display failure to prevent any adverse event that may occur.
The letter states that their field service engineer will contact consignees to schedule a time to visit and upgrade all affected devices at no cost.
The US consignees are advised to call 1-800-522-7025, Select 2, and the foreign consignees are advised to call 1-425-657-7200 x5089 for technical support or questions regarding the recall. |
