Title: Medical Device Safety and Recalls: Newport Medical Instruments Inc. Recalls Newport™ HT70 & Newport™ HT70 Plus Ventilators Due to a Software Issue which May Cause an Unexpected Shutdown without Alarm

Newport Medical Instruments Inc., now a part of Medtronic, is recalling the Newport™ HT70 and Newport™ HT70 Plus ventilators because a software problem may cause the ventilator to shut down unexpectedly without sounding an alarm. If the ventilator shuts down, the patient may not receive enough oxygen and could suffer serious adverse health consequences such as brain damage, or even death.
