ResMed recalls Stellar ventilators (Models 100/150) with serial numbers 20160123307-22171057208 due to potential alarm failure if stored without AC power for over 36 hours.
Combination of software and a component failure may cause audible alarms not to operate properly, the alarm buzzer not work, for ventilators that have a failed electronic component and, that are stored without AC power connected for more than 36 hours leading to full depletion of the battery and, that powers on automatically when connected to AC power without pressing the power switch.
ResMed is recalling non-invasive and invasive ventilators (Models 100 and 150) because improper storage without AC power for more than 36 hours can cause alarms to stop working. This could lead to unsafe sleep conditions if the device fails to alert users.
If a ventilator is stored without AC power for more than 36 hours, its battery may fully deplete. When connected to AC power later, it may power on automatically without requiring the user to press the power switch, causing alarms to stop working.
Owners of ResMed Stellar ventilators with Model numbers 100 or 150 and serial numbers between 20160123307 and 22171057208 are affected. Patients using these devices for sleep apnea treatment are most at risk.
Check your ResMed Stellar ventilator's model number (100 or 150) and serial number. The serial numbers range from 20160123307 to 22171057208.
Ensure the ventilator is connected to AC power and the power switch is pressed before use to prevent automatic startup without alarms.
