GE Healthcare recalls Carestation 750 A1, A2, and 750c A1/A2 anesthesia systems with certain power boards that may shut down during AC power loss, causing temporary ventilation disruptions.
Potential unexpected shutdown of Carestation 600 and 700 Series Anesthesia Systems containing certain power management boards, if the AC mains power is unplugged or in the event of an AC mains power failure. Anesthesia systems only operate on battery power in a rare event that AC mains power is lost and there is no continuous backup emergency power. If AC power is interrupted, the system will not automatically switch over to the battery supply mode and will reboot. If this issue occurs, a temporary disruption of mechanical ventilation, manual ventilation, and volatile agent delivery may occur. Following the reboot, the system will not return to the previous ventilation settings.
GE Healthcare is recalling specific anesthesia systems that may shut down if AC power is lost, causing temporary interruptions in mechanical and manual ventilation. This could affect patient safety during medical procedures.
The anesthesia systems contain power management boards that fail to switch to battery power during AC power loss. This causes the system to reboot instead of maintaining ventilation, leading to temporary interruptions in mechanical and manual ventilation. After rebooting, the system does not return to previous ventilation settings.
Healthcare providers using GE Healthcare Carestation anesthesia systems with the specified product numbers are at risk. Patients undergoing anesthesia procedures may experience temporary ventilation disruptions if the system shuts down during power loss.
Check for product numbers: Carestation 750 A1, 750 A2, 750c A1, or 750c A2 with the specified REF numbers. Products sold with GTINs 00840682145596, 00840682146470, 00840682146425, or 00840682146463 are affected.
