Description

GE Healthcare, Aisys, 1011-9000-000. The GE Datex-Ohmeda Aisys Anesthesia System is intended to provide general inhalation anesthesia and ventilatory support to a wide range of patients (neonatal, pediatric, adult). The device is intended for volume or pressure control ventilation. The Aisys is not suitable for use in a MRI environment.

Reason

The Drive Gas Check Valve of certain Anesthesia products could become stuck in a fixed open position, which could cause pressure to build in the mechanical ventilation cycle. If this issue is left unresolved, it could result in excessive or prolonged pressure in the patient breathing circuit during ventilation potentially resulting in barotrauma.
