Manufacturer Narrative

The affected hose system of type ventstar coax was available for investigation.During the analysis at manufacturing site the described issue could be confirmed.The inner coax circuit was disconnected from the y-piece.This results in co2 rebreathing.The increased co2 is detected by the connected main device and depending on the set alarm limits a corresponding alarm will be posted.Our investigations have shown that the adhesive joint did not conform to specification due to an unstable manufacturing process.A capa was opened to initiate and document further measures.In april 2023, dräger has already informed all customers of potentially affected products about the identified risk with a field safety notice.
