Percussionaire Corporation is recalling approximately 4,727 Phasitron Breathing Circuit kits because an internal component can become transiently stuck. If the component gets stuck, it can cause a reduction in the volume of air delivered to a patient during ventilation. Affected models include Phasitron Kit (A50094-D-5PK), Control Unit Tester (A51001), and various Humidification kits (PRT 991, PRT 992, PRT 993). These kits are intended for use in hospitals and healthcare facilities to provide continuous breathing support.
The internal venturi component may get stuck in the forward position, reducing the amplitude and volume of ventilation. This defect can prevent a patient from receiving adequate oxygen and breathing support, posing a significant risk in critical care settings. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
Intended for continuous ventilation of patients.
