    Description

    Fabius Tiro, anesthesia machine, catalog no. 8606000 Product Usage: The products are inhalation anesthesia machines for use in operating, induction and recovery rooms. They may be used with O2, N2O, and AIR supplied by a medical gas pipeline system or by externally mounted gas cylinders. Fabius series anesthesia machines are equipped with an electrically driven and electronically controlled ventilator and monitors for airway pressure (P), volume (V), and inspiratory oxygen concentration (FiO2).

    Reason

    The automatic ventilation may fail if the position detection of the motor is disturbed. If the ventilator cover is damaged, manual ventilation may also fail.

    Action

    On March 1, 2018, the recalling firm notified affected customers via an Urgent Medical Device Recall letter. The recalling firm stated that customers would receive replacement motors for potentially affected devices. Until the replacement occurred, customers were instructed to continue to operate their devices with the usual attention and make sure that a manual resuscitator for emergency ventilation is kept ready according to the instructions for use. Customers were also supplied with a reply card to indicate that they had received the notification. Customers with questions about the letter were directed to call Michael Kelhart between 8AM-4:30PM EST at 1-800-437-2437 (press 1 at the prompt, then 32349).
