smiths medical Pneupac paraPAC plus 300 ventilator kit without PEEP and CPAP, REF P300NUS

Reason for recall

When a paraPAC plus ventilator is switched to the operating mode of VENTILATE, the ventilator may intermittently provide continuous positive gas flow instead of the intended cycling like a human breath. This non-cycling and continuous positive gas flow when in the cycling mode, is a malfunction, not allowing the ventilator to properly function as designed.
