Hamilton Medical AG has recalled 2,560 coaxial breathing circuit sets used with HAMILTON-C1, HAMILTON-T1, and HAMILTON-MR1 ventilators due to reports of cracks in the blue fresh gas delivery tubing. The recall affects 1.80 m circuit sets (REF: 260128) from lots 199675 and 199676. These cracks can compromise airflow and cause patients to rebreathe exhaled gases, posing a serious respiratory risk. No injuries have been reported to date.
Cracks in the breathing circuit tubing can prevent the proper delivery of fresh oxygen and cause patients to breathe back in their own exhaled carbon dioxide. This can lead to acute hypercapnia (high CO2 in the blood), respiratory acidosis, and potentially severe organ dysfunction if the issue is not recognized quickly.
Used with HAMILTON-C1, HAMILTON-T1 and HAMILTON-MR1 ventilators.
