What happened, in plain English

Caire is recalling SAROS Oxygen System Model 3000 units with certain serial numbers because they may not power on using battery power alone. This could prevent the oxygen system from working when battery power is the only available source.

Why it’s dangerous

The electronics control issue prevents the unit from powering on when using battery power only. This means the oxygen system may not function during emergencies when battery power is the only available source.

Who’s affected

Users of the SAROS Oxygen System Model 3000 with the listed serial numbers are affected. Patients relying on this portable oxygen system for medical use are at risk if the device fails to power on with battery power.
