Title: Medical Device Safety and Recalls: Nellcor Puritan Bennett, 980 Ventilator System - Software Issue May Stop Ventilator

A recall has been issued for the Nellcor Puritan Bennett, 980 Ventilator System.  The systems with software versions below 2.8 may have a software problem that causes the ventilator to stop working after the air and oxygen gas supply lines are disconnected and then reconnected. This can lead to serious health problems or death if the healthcare provider does not connect the patient to another ventilator or to a different form of breathing support.  For more information, please see: http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ListofRecalls/ucm422326.htm
