Resmed has recalled (Class 1) its Astral 100/150 ventilator system due to the potential for a supercapacitor electrolyte leakage on the printed circuit board assembly that may damage the charger chip, causing a fail-safe state and interruption of ventilation therapy. An [FDA notice](https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfRES/res.cfm?id=221232&ref=fdaweb.com) says the agency determined the cause of the recall to be related to a “component design/selection” issue.

The device is intended to provide continuous or intermittent ventilatory support for patients weighing more than 11lb (5kg) who require mechanical ventilation.
