Draeger, Inc. is recalling 619 units of its Draeger Vapor 2000 and Vapor 3000 unheated, calibrated anesthetic vaporizers. The recall was initiated because a specific internal component was found to be out of technical specification and contains impurities. This contamination could interfere with the quality of anesthesia delivered during medical procedures or cause the device to malfunction.
Impurities within internal vaporizer components can lead to the delivery of contaminated anesthetic gas or cause the device to fail during use. This poses a critical safety risk to patients undergoing anesthesia, potentially resulting in serious injury or complication during surgery.
