Action Taken
VIASYS telephoned the direct accounts and sent out follow-up faxes on 9/10-11/03, informing them of the potential for a blocked exhalation hole in the sideport relief valve cap which may result in excess pressure build-up. The accounts were instructed to check their inventory for the affected catalog numbers and lots numbers, place any found on hold for return to VIASYS, and sub-recall the affected product from their customers.
