Description

Ultraview SL Capnography Module, Model 91517 A mainstream and sidestream gas analyzer designed to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide in a gas mixture, to aid in determining the patient''s ventilatory, circulatory, and metabolic status.

The transducer used to compensate for pressure changes was mounted backwards on the printed circuit board assembly. The module will not compensate for pressure changes and CO2 readings will be inaccurate at higher altitudes.

Action

The firm will confirm that all consignees have been updated with the appropriate PCBA and will audit the device recall records for completion.
