Description

AS3000 Anesthesia Delivery System. Datascope Patient Monitoring; A Mindray Global Company. The AS3000 is a device used to administer to a patient, continuously or intermittently, a general inhalation anesthetic and to maintain a patient's ventilation.

Reason

Two issues have been identified with the AS3000 unit. 1. The threadlocker of the caster (wheels) may not have been utilized, which may allow the caster to loosen and possibly separate from the unit. 2. The use of select brands of pre-pack absorber in the absorber canister of the AS3000 has been associated, in some cases, with gas leakage around the pre-pack, rather than through the absorber mate

Notification (Urgent Product Field Correction) letters were sent to the one consignee on October 7, 2008 by Federal Express overnight delivery.
