| Issue: | An incomplete seal can exist between the disposable absorber and the breathing circuit lower assembly of the Carestation 600 Series systems. This incomplete seal can allow rebreathing of patient gases that have bypassed the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Absorbent material and could result in unintended elevated inspired levels of CO2 (FiCO2), which could lead to hypercarbia. |
