CareFusion AVEA ventilator, all models. Product Usage: A continuous ventilator (respirator), intended to mechanically control or assist patient breathing by delivering a predetermined percentage of oxygen in the breathing gas.

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

The hazard

A pressure transducer failure can develop, activating a false Extended High Ppeak or Circuit Occlusion Alarm. The Safety Valve will open to ambient air and the unit will stop ventilating, allowing spontaneous breathing patients to breathe. The malfunction may delay initiation or cease ventilation. Nonbreathing patients will need manual ventilation or to be connected to another ventilator.
