Smiths Medical has recalled (Class 1 device correction) its ParaPAC Plus P300 and P310 Ventilators due to inadvertent tidal volume knob movement. “When the knob is set at high (1,000 – 1,500 ml) or low (70 - 150 ml), the knob may move away from the original setting on its own,” the company says. “If the tidal volume knob moves, it may cause the patient to experience delayed therapy, too much tidal volume or not enough tidal volume.” To date, it says there have been no reported injuries.

The gas-powered emergency and transport portable ventilators are suitable for emergency use at accident scenes or transporting patients between hospitals or within a hospital or medical facility. They also provide free-flow oxygen therapy and continuous positive airway pressure therapy for spontaneously breathing patients.
