You can continue to use your Advance CS2 devices after removing the optional large tray insert if installed. The optional large tray insert can be removed from the device manually by any clinical user or authorized local personnel. No tools and or technical training are required to remove the large tray insert. Avance CS2 and Advance anesthesia devices with optional large insert tray insert (part number 1009-3260-000) are susceptible to the problem.
