Reason for recall
Battery Life: With use over time, the internal battery begins losing its ability to hold a charge resulting in shortened ventilator operation time. Specifically, Newport has received a number of reports concerning the internal battery not lasting as long as expected followed by ventilator shut down with less advance warning than when the battery was new.
Action taken
An Important Medical Device Correction Letter was issued on September 14, 2007 as a short term fix. The firm has submitted a long term correction as a supplement to its 510 K which is pending review by FDA.
