Hamilton Medical recalls C6 ventilators with serial numbers starting 5663-9590 due to loose status indicator board risking water ingress from disinfectants, potentially causing technical faults and unsafe breathing conditions.
Ventilator status indicator board can become loose, which could lead to water ingress (disinfectants) that may lead to technical fault alarms. Multiple technical faults in a short time may force ventilators into Safety Ventilation (blower runs constantly) or Ambient Sate (inspiratory channel/expiratory valves opened; patient breaths room air unassisted) with Panel connection lost message displayed
Hamilton Medical is recalling specific C6 intensive care ventilators because the status indicator board can become loose, allowing water from disinfectants to enter. This may cause repeated technical faults that could force the ventilator to switch to unsafe breathing modes, risking patient safety.
The status indicator board can loosen over time, allowing water from disinfectants to seep into the ventilator. This water can cause repeated technical faults that may force the ventilator into unsafe modes like continuous blower operation or switching to room air breathing without support.
Healthcare facilities using the recalled Hamilton C6 ventilators with specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice are most at risk. Patients on these ventilators could face breathing complications if the device malfunctions.
Check the serial numbers listed in the recall notice (5663 to 9590). The ventilator model is the Hamilton C6 Intensive Care Ventilator with reference number 160021.
