Description

Oxylog 3000 Emergency and Transport Ventilator Continuous Respirator with software version 1.10 pre-installed; Catalog number 2M86300.

Reason

May experience an interruption of ventilation for approximately 5 seconds

Action

The firm issued an Urgent - Medical Device Recall letter dated September 2008. Software version 1.10 may under specific conditions experience an interruption of ventilation for approximately 5 seconds. During that time period, the patient airway pressure may drop to zero. This phenomenon was identified by Draeger engineers and to date has not been reported by any user. The firm's investigations revealed that when ventilating in BIPAP mode with the pressure rise time (Ramp) set to the highest setting and the expiration time set to exactly 0.5 seconds, the inspiration phase can coincide with the internal auto zero function of the device. Under these circumstances a pressure spike will occur upon reaching Pmax +5mbar (cmH2O) which with software version 1.10 will lead to the inspiratory phase stopping. Ventilation will resume after approximately 5 seconds. The device will generate a Paw Measurement INOP alarm. Until the new software is available, customers are being instructed to avoid the use of the following combination of settings: 1) BIPAP mode; 2) Ramp = highest, and 3) Texp = 0.5 seconds.
