Recall details

Recalling firm
Smiths Medical PM, Inc.
Reason for recall
Altitude testing of the Advisor with Capnography module found the CO2 (End Tidal and Inspired) values are incorrect when the Advisor is configured to display in the relative units of percent (%) at elevations above 4,100 feet (at standard temperature pressure). The % CO values displayed will be lower than the actual CO2 value.
Action taken
On March 16, 2005, customers were emailed Safety Action Bulletin 05-003 informing them of the low CO2 (End Tidal and Inspired) measurements in percent (%) and urging them to use mmHg or kPa as the unit of measurement . In addition, a Technical Worksheet will be distributed to customers who request a software upgrade. The Technical Worksheet will instruct them how to perform the software upgrade which corrects the CO2 measurements (End Tidal and Inspired) in percent (%).
