Hamilton Medical recalls Hamilton-T1 ventilators with serial numbers listed in the record due to capacitors that may leak electrolyte, causing short circuits and ventilation interruptions.
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 certain Hamilton-T1 intensive care and transport ventilators because capacitors on the control board may leak electrolyte, leading to short circuits or loss of function that could interrupt ventilation. This is a serious issue for medical devices that must operate reliably.
Degrading capacitors on the control board may leak electrolyte, causing short circuits in the device. This can lead to the capacitor losing function and interrupting ventilation, which is critical for patients who depend on the ventilator for breathing.
Healthcare facilities using the affected Hamilton-T1 ventilators are most at risk. Patients relying on these ventilators for critical care could face interrupted breathing support if the device fails.
