Reason for Recall

The Drive Gas Check Valve of certain Anesthesia products could become stuck in a fixed open position, which could cause pressure to build in the mechanical ventilation cycle. If this issue is left unresolved, it could result in excessive or prolonged pressure in the patient breathing circuit during ventilation potentially resulting in barotrauma.
