ResMed recalls Astral 100 and 150 ventilators made between 2013-2019 due to potential power failure causing ventilation to stop. Check serial numbers for affected units.
If ventilator is on internal battery, not intended to serve as a primary power source, low/critically low battery alarms will sound, but a fault leads to sudden power loss. If power fails, then ventilation stops and a Total Power Failure (TPF) alarm should sound, but it's powered by a supercapacitor, which degrades over time, which may cause TPF alarm to sound for less than 2 minutes or not at all
ResMed is recalling Astral 100 and Astral 150 ventilators made from 2013 to 2019. These devices may stop ventilating if power fails due to a battery issue that can cause sudden power loss without proper alarms.
If the ventilator's internal battery fails, it can stop ventilation without warning. The device may not properly alert users to a power failure, leading to sudden loss of breathing support.
People using Astral 100 or 150 ventilators made between 2013 and 2019 are affected. Those with breathing conditions requiring continuous ventilation are at higher risk.
Check the serial number on your device. The 3rd and 4th digits indicate the year of manufacture (e.g., 22151234567 = 2015). Devices made between 2013 and 2019 are affected.
Look for the serial number on your device; the 3rd and 4th digits indicate the year of manufacture.
