Draeger Medical has recalled (Class 1) its VentStar and ID Breathing Circuits and Anesthesia Sets manufactured 1/2016 to 11/2018 due to incorrect assembly concerns. The single-use, disposable, accessory devices are used with a ventilator or anesthesia machine to provide mechanical ventilation and critical breathing support to infant, child, and adult patients. An incorrectly assembled device could result in a short-circuit in the breathing hose, a [recall notice](https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ListofRecalls/ucm629799.htm?utm%5Fcampaign=FDA%20MedWatch%20Recall%20Notice%20-%20VentStar%20and%20ID%20Breathing%20Circuits%20and%20Anesthesia&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fsource=Eloqua) says. “If the breathing hose is short circuited, the patient will not receive the expected breathing support (ventilation),” it says. “Lack of breathing support may result in irreversible patient harm, up to and including severe oxygen-loss (hypoxia) and death.”
