• Manufacturer Reason for Recall: Ventilator may experience potential issues with the backup battery failures: 1) if the battery is allowed to over discharge, or 2) if the ventilator is stored for an extended period of time without being plugged into AC power.
• FDA Determined Cause: Device Design
• Action: On 10/30/2020, the firm sent an "URGENT-MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION" Notification Letter via priority mail informing customer that the Ventilators may experience two potential issues with the battery (see table below for additional information). 1. The ventilator may exhibit a high priority Check Vent: Battery Failed alarm if the battery is allowed to over discharge. 2. The battery may fail to charge if the ventilator is stored for an extended period of time without being plugged into AC power. If the ventilator exhibits a high priority Battery Failed alarm while connected to AC power, the V60 ventilator will annunciate an audible and visual alarm. The ventilator will continue to deliver prescribed therapy; however, the audible and visual alarm will continue until the device is powered down; therefore, the patient should be transferred to an alternate source of ventilation as soon as one becomes available. The hazard associated with transferring a patient to an alternate source of ventilation is a temporary loss of therapy leading to potential hypercarbia or hypoxemia (moderate). If AC power fails and the backup battery is not functioning, an audible and visual alarm will annunciate for at least two minutes. The ventilator will no longer be operative resulting in a total loss of therapy. The patient will require an alternate source of ventilation. The hazard associated with a ventilator shutdown is a total loss of therapy leading to potential hypercarbia or hypoxemia (severe). Customers are instructed: Follow the instructions in the V60 user manual and the instructions below to reduce any risk associated with potential battery issues. 1) Avoid allowing the ventilator battery to become completely discharged. Otherwise, the battery may become over-discharged and require long recharge times of up to 16 hours or more. The over-discharged condition may permanently damage the battery so that it is unable to recharge. To prevent the occurrence o
