Dräger has begun a Class 1 recall of its VentStar Oxylog 3000 Pediatric Patient Breathing Circuit after it was discovered that the check valve on the circuit may leak. “This could result in the patient re-breathing exhaled gas with reduced oxygen concentration and increased carbon dioxide levels,” a [recall notice](http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/SafetyInformation/SafetyAlertsforHumanMedicalProducts/ucm515152.htm?ref=fdaweb.com) says. “This can lead to serious health consequences, including excessive carbon dioxide in the bloodstream (hypercapnia) and increased acidity in the blood (acidosis), which could lead to death.” The breathing circuit is used with the Dräger Oxylog 3000 and Oxylog 3000 plus Emergency Transport Ventilators for pediatric patients who require ventilation.
