Hamilton Medical recalls C2 Ventilators due to battery gauge potentially showing higher charge than actual. This could lead to unexpected shutdowns during critical care. Affected units have serial numbers and were sold in hospitals.
After two and a half years, the battery fuel gauge may indicate a higher battery charge than what is available.
Hamilton Medical is recalling its C2 Ventilator Units because the battery fuel gauge might show a higher charge level than what's actually available after two and a half years. This could cause the ventilator to shut down unexpectedly during critical medical care.
The battery gauge may indicate a higher charge level than the actual battery capacity after two and a half years of use. This could lead to unexpected shutdowns during critical medical procedures, potentially causing harm to patients.
Hospital patients using ventilators with this model are most at risk. Healthcare facilities that have the C2 Ventilator Units are affected.
Check for the Hamilton-C2 Ventilator Unit with serial numbers. These units were sold in hospitals and intended for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients.
Verify the battery gauge reading against the actual battery status to ensure it doesn't show a higher charge than available.
