Action Taken
During the week of May 10, 2021, the firm sent an URGENT: MEDICAL DEVICE RECALL NOTIFICATION letter via FedEx or overnight mail to customers informing them that due to malfunctions of the Control Board there is the potential of unexpected shut downs and/or lost of ventilator blower function. As a result, the ventilators may fail to provide ventilation therapy to the patients. Customers are instructed to complete the following clinical action until a replacement unit can be provided: Follow your procedures to transfer the patient to an alternative source of ventilation, if available. If no other ventilation method is available, you may continue to use the affected product adhering to the guidelines below: 1. Use only when the patient is actively monitored to ensure timely response to a potential malfunction. 2. Operate the ventilator as defined in the Instructions for Use and promptly respond to all alarms activated by the ventilator. 3. Use an external SpO2 monitor and set the alarm thresholds appropriately if the patient is oxygen dependent. 4. Connect the ventilator to an external monitoring system, wherever possible. In addition, Customers are to acknowledge receipt of the Customer Notification Letter by: 1. Confirm receipt of this notification letter by returning the enclosed Customer Response Form to Ventec within 7 days. 2. Upon receipt of the Customer Response Form, Ventec will arrange shipment of replacement device(s) or arrange repair of existing device(s). 3. Return the affected product to Ventec per instructions and shipping label provided with replacement device(s).
