Draeger Medical Recalls Seattle PAP Plus and Breathing Circuit/Anesthesia Kits for Risk of Loose or Detached Components That Can Restrict Breathing Support

Draeger Medical is recalling the Seattle PAP Plus as well as VentStar and other breathing circuit/anesthesia kits after finding that glued connections may loosen before or during ventilation due to a manufacturing error. Partial or complete detachment of components may occur as a result. Loosening or detachment of these parts can interrupt the breathing circuit and may cause a lack of oxygen (hypoxia).

The FDA has identified this as a Class I recall, the most serious type of recall. Use of these devices may cause serious injuries, serious health consequences, or death.
