The recall of its C20, C30 and C40 FLOW-i anesthesia systems was related to a software problem for the switch used for changing between manual and automatic ventilation modes.
This action only affects FLOW-i systems distributed between May 2010 and December 2011. Correction of the problem includes upgrading the affected systems’ software and providing new corresponding user’s manuals.
In February, MAQUET initiated a voluntary field correction of FLOW-i anesthesia system, model number C30, in the United States. FLOW-i anesthesia system model numbers C20, C30 and C40 were affected worldwide.
