“Draeger ID Circuit Basic 180 Breathing Circuits Risk of Short Circuit.” GovInfoNow, updated August 20, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/69222-draeger-id-circuit-basic-180-breathing-circuits-risk-of-short. Based on FDA recall #Z-0744-2019 (https://api.fda.gov/device/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22Z-0744-2019%22&limit=1).
Why it’s dangerous
The breathing circuits lack a water trap, which is necessary for preventing electrical short circuits. Without this component, improper connections could cause the circuit to short, potentially leading to electrical issues during anesthesia procedures.
Who’s affected
Healthcare providers using anesthesia machines or ventilators with these breathing circuits are most at risk. Patients receiving anesthesia through these circuits could face electrical hazards.
How to tell if you have this one
Check for the ID Circuit Basic 180 model with Catalog Number MP01350. These breathing circuits are sold without a water trap and are intended for single use only.
