| Issue: | It has been identified that an incomplete seal can exist between the CO2 absorber and the breathing circuit CO2 bypass port assembly of the Carestation 600 Series systems. An incomplete seal can allow rebreathing of patient gases that have bypassed the CO2 absorbent material and could result in unintended elevated levels of inspired CO2 (FiCO2), which could lead to hypercarbia. There have been no injuries reported as a result of this issue. Manufacturer is releasing revised parts that minimize the likelihood of incomplete gas flow through the CO2 absorbent canister. GEHC will correct all affected products by installing updated parts. |
