| Issue: | The manufacturer has identified that in certain Aisys CS2, Avance CS2, and Avance CS2 Pro Anesthesia Systems manufactured from January 1, 2021 to April 23, 2022 can potentially have the O2 & Air cylinder pressure transducers reversed. The anesthesia system can display the O2 cylinder pressure reading as the Air cylinder pressure and the Air cylinder pressure reading as the O2 cylinder pressure. The correct gases are connected to each supply line, but the screen will display the cylinder pressures as reversed. In rare instances prolonged hypoxia could result if the oxygen cylinder became depleted when both air and oxygen pipeline gases are unavailable and both cylinders are being utilized but not measured appropriately. |
