Draeger Medical has recalled its Seattle PAP Plus continuous positive airway pressure device and VentStar breathing components due to breathing circuit concerns. “Glued connections of the breathing circuit can become loose before or during ventilation resulting in partial or complete detachment of pieces,” a [recall notice](https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfRES/res.cfm?start%5Fsearch=1&event%5Fid=92049&ref=fdaweb.com) says. FDA has determined the cause to be related to the company’s process control, according to the notice.

Draeger distributed recall notifications to consignees last month, instructing them to immediately stop using affected devices and quarantine them to prevent use, according to the notice. “Alternative therapy for patients should be instituted as soon as possible and ensure all users of affected devices within consignee organizations are aware of the recall, with copies being forwarded if devices were further distributed,” it says.
