This recall affects 14,426 Smiths Medical paraPAC Plus P300 and P310 ventilator kits, which are used to provide breathing assistance to patients. The patient outlet connector on these devices can loosen or detach, which may cause the ventilator to stop providing active ventilation. Consumers and healthcare providers should contact the manufacturer immediately for guidance on managing affected units.
If the patient outlet connector detaches during use, the device will fail to provide the necessary mechanical ventilation to the patient. This loss of breathing support can lead to severe injury, oxygen deprivation, or death, particularly for patients who are fully dependent on a ventilator.
