GE Medical Systems China Co., Ltd. recalls GE 9100c NXT anesthesia systems with specific serial numbers due to potential for auxiliary gas switches to unexpectedly reset, risking hypoxia.
On systems equipped with the Auxiliary Common Gas Outlet (ACGO), there is a potential for the auxiliary gas switch to unexpectedly switch from the ACGO position back to the circle position. On systems equipped with the Aux O2 + Air function the switch could unexpectedly switch from the Aux O2 + Air position back to the circle position. These situations could lead to hypoxia.
GE Medical Systems is recalling certain GE 9100c NXT anesthesia systems because a switch could unexpectedly reset, potentially causing hypoxia. This is serious for medical use but not a general consumer product.

Check if your GE 9100c NXT anesthesia system has one of the listed serial numbers (e.g., SPC18030143WA). The recall applies to specific models sold in China.
