Voluntary Field Corrective Action Initiated for Vital Signs Device’s CO2 Multi Absorber Due to a Health Risk

01/01/2014 02:07 PM EST

Vital Signs Devices, a GE Healthcare Company, has initiated a voluntary field corrective action of the disposable Multi Absorber Original after becoming aware of a potential safety issue due to air leakage associated with the CO2 Multi Absorber. The Multi Absorber Original may have a thin wall condition which may lead to small holes in the water (drain tube). This may result in a loss of anesthetic gases, ventilation and oxygenation.
