Draeger recalls 26 Fabius MRI Anesthesia Machines with oxygen flow control error that may cause patient oxygenation issues if central oxygen pressure is unstable.
26 Fabius MRI Anesthesia machines were distributed with internal hoses routing Oxygen to the Oxygen Flush and Oxygen Flow Control interchanged. If the hospital O2 Central supply pressure is not stable, the O2 fresh gas flow could deviate from the adjusted value. If the deviation is not noticed, insufficient oxygenation of the patient may occur.
Draeger is recalling 26 specific Fabius MRI Anesthesia Machines that have a wiring error causing oxygen flow to potentially be incorrect. This could lead to patients not getting enough oxygen if the hospital's oxygen supply pressure is unstable.
The oxygen flow control and oxygen flush hoses are swapped in the machine. If the hospital's oxygen supply pressure fluctuates, the machine might deliver less oxygen than set. This could cause patient hypoxia if the error isn't detected.
Healthcare providers using the specific recalled models (Catalog Number 8607300) are affected. Patients under anesthesia are at risk if the oxygen flow control error goes unnoticed.
Check for the specific serial numbers: ASPJ-0019, ASPJ-0020, ASPJ-0021, ASPK-0001, ASPK-0002. The machine has Catalog Number 8607300 and UDI 04048675041498.
Verify the serial numbers and catalog number to confirm if your machine is in the recall list.
The recall is for 26 machines with internal hoses that swap oxygen flow and oxygen flush controls, which could cause incorrect oxygen delivery if hospital oxygen pressure is unstable.
26 specific machines with serial numbers ASPJ-0019 through ASPK-0002 and catalog number 8607300.
