Reason for Recall

A limited number of ventilators were assembled with expired adhesive. If the adhesive fails, a bracket may become loose and potentially damage the capacitors, which could cause the ventilator to stop providing ventilation to the patient. This failure may either activate both visual and audible alarms, or it may not sound or display an alarm (a silent shutdown).
