Operator's Guide & Quick Reference Guide (QRG) ZOLL 731 Ventilator for MRI Compatible Devices. Patient Safety Ventilator MRI information omitted from the manuals. Update to the instructions ensures safe distance from the MRI to ensure proper function of the ventilator and reduce the risk of delay in ventilator therapy
ZOLL Medical is recalling the Operator's Guide and Quick Reference Guide for their MRI-compatible ZOLL 731 Ventilators. The manuals don't include critical safety information about maintaining proper distance from MRI machines, which could delay life-saving ventilator therapy if the device is too close.
The ventilator manuals omit instructions on maintaining safe distance from MRI machines. If the ventilator is too close to the MRI, it could malfunction or delay life-saving therapy during procedures requiring both MRI and ventilator support.
Healthcare providers using ZOLL 731 Ventilators for MRI-compatible procedures are affected. Patients receiving ventilator therapy during MRI scans are at risk if the device isn't properly configured.
Check for the listed part numbers in the manufacturer's documentation. The affected items include specific ZOLL 731 Ventilator models with part numbers like 799-EGL2-02 and 906-0731-01.

The updated manuals ensure the ventilator maintains safe distance from MRI machines, preventing potential delays in life-saving therapy during combined MRI and ventilator procedures.
