ActionURGENT: Medical Device Correction letters were emailed to customers on 06/06/2025, 06/20/2025, and 07/07/2025, informing them that due to damage to the capacitor in the ESM-Board within the Hamilton-C6 ventilator the capacitor could, over time, lead to a loss of its function due to oxidation of similar degradation processes. Customers are instructed to: 1. Review their Hamilton-C6 ventilators and check for the serial number within the scope mentioned in the letter. 2. for affected ventilators must have the ESM-Boards replaced. The replacement will be organized by the local partner as per servicing protocol. Note - the Hamilton-C6 ventilators do not need to be removed from use/service. These devices were tested prior to release and no test will be able to detect if the ESM board will fail in the future. 3. Keep the recall notice within the respective ventilator's data records.
