Baxter Healthcare is recalling approximately 58,570 Volara System circuit kits and blue ventilator adapter modules. The handset plug on these devices may accidentally disconnect from the nebulizer port, which is a critical component required to ensure proper ventilator gas flow and device operation. If the plug disconnects during use, it could interrupt the delivery of respiratory therapy to the patient. These devices were distributed across the United States and internationally to Canada, France, and Germany.
The disconnection of the handset plug from the ventilator adapter can lead to a loss of ventilator gas flow. This failure could result in patients receiving inadequate respiratory support, potentially leading to serious health complications or respiratory distress.
