Why these products were recalled

Upgraded Aisys anesthesia devices and Aisys CS2 anesthesia devices with PSVPro Spontaneous Breathing Modes do not provide the PSVPro ventilation mode feature of transitioning to SIMV PCV backup ventilation mode. PSVPro Spontaneous Breathing Modes do not provide the feature of transitioning to SIMV PCV backup ventilation mode for a patient who stops spontaneous breathing if the PSVPro ventilation mode is in use prior to the clinician starting the Cycling Procedure.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
