| Issue: | The manufacturer has identified that the Avance CS2, Avance CS2 Pro, and Aisys CS2 Anesthesia Systems base can have a crack in a specific location in the rear of the anesthesia system. If excessive load is applied to the anesthesia device (for example when the device is being moved over a threshold), a cracked base could potentially fracture, resulting in a tip or overbalance of the anesthesia system, which can result in potential injury if it falls on a person. |
