Action Taken
Because this issue only occurs when the Disposable Multi Absorber is used in conjunction with EZchange Module, they have contacted all EZchange Module customers. It is critical to contact these customers specifically, rather than all customers shipped Disposable Multi Absorbers as this may cause unwarranted confusion with customers who do not have the EZchange Module. Consignees were sent an letter dated 7/19/2007 describing the product and problem. The letter lists a number of interim actions to implement with the anesthesia systems.
