Hamilton Medical recalls C1 ventilators with serial numbers 24177-31746 due to capacitors leaking electrolyte that may cause short circuits or ventilation failure. Affected units must be checked for control board issues.
Degrading capacitors on the control board of ventilators and spare parts may leak electrolyte onto the control board causing a short circuit on the board and/or the capacitor to lose function and lead to interruption of ventilation.
Hamilton Medical is recalling portable intensive care ventilators with specific serial numbers because capacitors on the control board may leak electrolyte, causing short circuits or ventilation interruptions. This could lead to life-threatening situations if the ventilator stops working during medical treatment.
Degrading capacitors on the control board can leak electrolyte, which may cause short circuits or cause the capacitor to lose function. This could interrupt ventilation, meaning the patient might not receive adequate breathing support during critical medical care.
Healthcare providers using Hamilton C1 ventilators with the listed serial numbers are most at risk. Patients relying on these ventilators for critical care could face interrupted breathing if the device fails.
Check the serial number on the ventilator's label. Affected units have serial numbers starting with 24177 and ending with 31746 as listed in the recall notice.
Look for the serial number on the ventilator's label to confirm if it is in the affected list.
