Why it was recalled

Multi-Function Ventilators were serviced using incorrect parts which have the potential to cause unexpected shutdown, or when using an active circuit could result in inaccurate tidal volume monitor, not triggering on patient efforts, less inspiratory volume, less inspiratory pressure, and less PEEP delivered.

FDA root cause category: Component change control
