Description

Flow-i Anesthesia System Product Usage: The indication for the Flow-i Anesthesia System is administering inhalation anesthesia while controlling the entire ventilation of patients with no ability to breath, as well as in supporting patients with a limited ability to breath.

The system is intended for use in hospital environments, except MRI environment by healthcare professionals trained in inhalation anesthesia administration.

Reason

Electrical issues in the control, monitoring or panel sub-systems, caused by the printed circuit boards (PCBs) that control the sub-systems. The problems manifested as multiple re-starts of the sub-systems and, in a few instances, disabling of the system has occurred. Replacement PCBs are now available to correct the issues. Only the Model C20 is affected in the US.
