Product Description

smiths medical Pneupac paraPAC plus 310 ventilator kit with PEEP and CPAP, REF P310NUS

Reason for Recall

When a paraPAC plus ventilator is switched to the operating mode of VENTILATE, the ventilator may intermittently provide continuous positive gas flow instead of the intended cycling like a human breath. This non-cycling and continuous positive gas flow when in the cycling mode, is a malfunction, not allowing the ventilator to properly function as designed.
