Baxter recalls Life2000 hospital ventilators with certain serial numbers due to potential patient desaturation when connected to oxygen concentrators.
There is the potential for patient desaturation events to occur under certain scenarios when the Life2000 ventilation system is connected with an oxygen concentrator.
Baxter is recalling specific hospital ventilators that could cause patient oxygen levels to drop if connected to an oxygen concentrator. This is a serious risk for patients using these devices in medical settings.
When the Life2000 ventilator system connects with an oxygen concentrator, it can cause patient oxygen levels to drop unexpectedly. This may lead to desaturation events where patients become oxygen-deprived without warning.
Hospital patients using the recalled Life2000 ventilators with specific serial numbers are at risk. Healthcare facilities that have these models in use should check their equipment.
Check for serial numbers listed in the recall notice: L191001-001 through L2006020-252 and other specific numbers provided in the recall document. The ventilators are hospital-grade medical devices.
Compare your ventilator's serial number against the list of affected numbers provided in the recall notice.

The official notice does not specify a remedy for hospitals, only that affected units should be checked against the serial number list.
