GE Medical Systems recalls Tec 820 ISO Anesthesia Vaporizers with specific serial numbers due to potential delivery of less anesthetic than set by the dial, which could lead to inadequate anesthesia during surgery.
Due to a manufacturing issue, certain Tec 6 Plus and Tec 800 series vaporizers can deliver less anesthetic agent than the vaporizer dial setting.
GE Medical Systems is recalling certain Tec 820 ISO Anesthesia Vaporizers because they may deliver less anesthetic agent than the dial setting indicates. This could result in inadequate anesthesia during surgery if the device is used without proper adjustment.
