Reason for recall

Degrading capacitors on the control board of ventilators and spare parts may leak electrolyte onto the control board causing a short circuit on the board and/or the capacitor to lose function and lead to interruption of ventilation.

Packaging recalls include wrong labels, wrong products in the wrong bottle, missing leaflets, short-filled or empty capsules and seals that fail.
