HAMILTON-C6 Intensive Care Ventilator, REF: 160021
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Hamilton Medical AG is recalling 358 HAMILTON-C6 Intensive Care Ventilators distributed nationwide in the US and Puerto Rico due to a defect in the ventilator status indicator board. The board can become loose, allowing water from disinfectants to enter the device and potentially cause technical fault alarms. When multiple technical faults occur in quick succession, the ventilator may switch to Safety Ventilation mode (with the blower running continuously) or Ambient State mode (where the inspiratory and expiratory valves open and the patient breathes unassisted room air), while displaying a "Panel connection lost" message.
The affected ventilators can be identified by their specific serial numbers listed in the recall documentation. The source document does not specify what actions affected consumers or healthcare facilities should take in response to this recall.
