The FDA recalls two medical ventilators after patients are endangered

MedPage Today (12/27, Kaiser) reports that the FDA has recalled two ventilator-related products. “The Ventlab manual resuscitator for adults and children has been recalled because of a defective valve that may leak, resulting in little or no air or oxygen being delivered to the patient.” In addition, “Bunnell’s Life Pulse High-Frequency Ventilator Patient Circuits” has been recalled because the “heater wire insulation on the product can melt, resulting in sparking and smoke in close proximity to the humidifier cartridge.”
