Mindray Medical International has issued a voluntary recall for the A3/A5 Anesthesia Delivery System, according to Pharm Pro.
The recalled was initiated because of the improper seating of the carbon dioxide absorbent canister gasket, which could result in a system leak. A system leak could increase fresh gas flow to compensate for pressure loss.
So far, 70 percent of units affected by the malfunction have been corrected through a replacement of the canister gasket. No injuries have been reported in association with the flaw.
