Action: On 03/05/20 Urgent Medical Device Correction Field Safety Notices were mailed to customers. Customers were informed that it is not necessary to remove affected V60 ventilators from service due to the rarity of these failure modes. Customers were asked to do the following: From the Operator's Manual: 1. Use an external O2 monitor/analyzer and set the ventilator alarm thresholds appropriately. 2. Promptly attend to all alarms presented by the ventilator. 3. Ensure that an alternative means of ventilation is available whenever the ventilator is in use. Additional directions: 4. Follow the above procedure to determine whether the V60 ventilator is affected by this correction without interrupting therapy. 5. If a V60 ventilator experiences a shutdown, disconnect the patient and immediately start ventilation with an alternate device. Contact a local customer service contact to report the failure and to schedule corrective maintenance. 6. Acknowledge receipt of this notification by fax or e-mail. The firm notified customers that once Power Management PCBAs are available, you will be contacted by your approved service provider to schedule a corrective maintenance to replace the Power Management PCBA at a time when the ventilator will not be in use.

About this record

Sourced from the FDA device recall database and the FDA enforcement reports, both ingested from openFDA. The recall record supplies the product, the reason and the product code; the enforcement report supplies the classification. The two datasets are exported by FDA on different days, and the date above is the older of the two, so nothing on this page is newer than it says.

MDM adds the root cause tag, derived from FDA’s own root cause text, and the cross-links to the product code, the clearances named on the record and MDM coverage. Where a recall has not been joined to an enforcement report, no classification is shown.
