Reason for Recall
Draeger is recalling these filters due to the risk of misleading capnography (carbon dioxide) readings, which could result in health care providers administering unnecessary or harmful treatments based on incorrect waveform interpretations.
The use of affected filters may cause serious adverse health consequences, including airway injury, delayed or incorrect treatment, brain injury, and death.
There were serious injuries reported due to the slow increase of CO2 curve when using the sampling port of the filter. There have been no reports of death.
