Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling (Class 1 device correction) its Life2000 Ventilator System due to a nonconforming battery charger, which triggers a battery alarm and makes the ventilator inoperable. “This is a result of a failed crimping operation during manufacturing that caused the crimp to puncture the insulation of the charger connector, thus resulting in an audible and visual alarm, which when engaged makes the ventilator inoperable,” a [recall notice](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls/continuous-ventilator-correction-baxter-healthcare-corporation-issues-correction-life2000-ventilator?utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fsource=govdelivery) says. As part of Baxter’s correction, it is providing a replacement charger. The devices are intended to be used for continuous or intermittent ventilatory support for individuals who require mechanical ventilation.
