GE Healthcare recalls Aisys CS2 and Avance CS2 anesthesia systems with specific serial numbers due to potential reversal of oxygen and air pressure transducer connections.
There is a potential reversal of the O2 and air cylinder pressure transducer connections.
GE Healthcare is recalling certain Aisys CS2 and Avance CS2 anesthesia systems because the oxygen and air pressure transducers might reverse, which could lead to incorrect oxygen delivery during surgery. This is serious as anesthesia systems are critical medical devices.
The oxygen and air pressure transducers in these anesthesia systems could reverse their connections, leading to incorrect oxygen delivery to patients during surgery. This might cause inadequate oxygen levels or excessive air, potentially causing serious complications or harm.
Healthcare providers using the recalled anesthesia systems, particularly those with the specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice. Patients undergoing surgery with these systems are at risk if the pressure reversal occurs.
Check the serial numbers on the Aisys CS2 system (starting with APWA, APWB, or APWZ) or Avance CS2/Pro system (starting with APKA or APKB). The specific serial number ranges are listed in the recall notice.
