O-Two Medical Technologies has recalled its e700, e600 and e500 Automatic Transport Ventilators because an improperly inserted screw in the ventilator screen may wear through the electrical insulation and create a short circuit that could lead the device to catch fire and injure the patient. “Fires in oxygen rich environments in a hospital or other health care facility pose increased risk of serious injury or death to both patients and device users,” a [recall notice](https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ListofRecalls/ucm635163.htm?ref=fdaweb.com) says. The emergency and transport ventilators are designed for use before arriving at a hospital, in the hospital, between hospitals, and in transport settings. The devices are intended for use with adult, child and infant patients who are in cardiac arrest or respiratory distress and need breathing support.
