Title: Medical Device Safety and Recalls: Dräger Recalls VentStar Oxylog 3000 Pediatric Patient Breathing Circuit

Dräger Recalls VentStar Oxylog 3000 Pediatric Patient Breathing Circuit Due to Potential Valve Leakage

The VentStar Oxylog 3000 Pediatric Patient Breathing Circuit is being recalled because the firm discovered that the check valve on the circuit may leak. This could result in the patient re-breathing exhaled gas with reduced oxygen concentration and increased carbon dioxide levels. This can lead to serious health consequences, including excessive carbon dioxide in the bloodstream (hypercapnia) and increased acidity in the blood (acidosis), which could lead to death.
