Draeger, Inc. Recalls Perseus A500 Anesthesia System for Risk of Sudden Unexpected Shutdown When Used on Battery Power
Draeger Inc. is recalling the Perseus A500 anesthesia workstation after receiving reports that the internal backup battery failed spontaneously while the system was being operated off the main power supply. The battery failure caused unexpected shutdown without a low battery alarm while the device was running on battery power.
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. Please be aware, this recall is a correction, not a product removal.
