FDA says a Draeger 3/3 recall of VentStar Flex and Anesthesia Circuit kits is Class 1\. An FDA [notice](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls/anesthesia-breathing-circuit-kit-correction-draeger-inc-updates-use-instructions-ventstar-flex-and?utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fsource=govdelivery) says the company updated the use instructions on the breathing circuits after receiving reports that cracks may form in the hose during use. The cracks may cause leaks, the notice says, potentially resulting in the ventilator or anesthesia device providing inadequate ventilation. The company has not reported any serious injuries or deaths related to the issue, FDA says.
