CAREstream is recalling certain nitrous oxide delivery systems that may deliver higher levels of nitrous oxide than intended during routine testing. This could pose safety risks for patients receiving medical treatment using these devices.
The recalled systems were reported to deliver higher levels of nitrous oxide than specified during routine testing. Nitrous oxide is a medical gas used for pain relief and sedation, so excessive levels could cause unintended medical effects or safety risks during treatment.
Medical facilities using the recalled nitrous oxide delivery systems are most at risk. Patients receiving medical treatment with these systems could be affected if the higher nitrous oxide levels cause unintended medical effects.
Check for item numbers starting with CMI-0100-PNX on the device label. The affected models include Canadian versions and hospital systems with specific suffixes like -HS, -NO2H, -NHS, and -PS.
