  • Causa
    There is a possibility that 2017 units of the vip bird models gold (gold) and stearling (silver) pediatric ventilators will fail in their operating cycles when used. the problem possibly occurs when the set flow level is too high and the air flow that goes into the equipment is greater than 15 l / min, as in some occasions with nebulizers. the presence of bacteria filters and the presence of water inside the equipment tubing are factors that can aggravate the problem. according to the manufacturer, such a problem poses no risk, since: (a) an audible alarm is triggered automatically by the equipment when the problem occurs; and (b) the number of persons assigned to the care of neonates admitted to intensive care units is generally high, which ensures a rapid response to the problem if it occurs. equipment which may present problems of this type is as follows: (a) catalog numbers 15654: products with serial no. aam01128 through abmo1015 (for domestic use only) and products with serial no. aam01119 through acmo1142 (intended for to other countries, including brazil); (b) catalog numbers 15653: products with serial number aam01001 to ammo1590 + kji01178 (for us domestic market only) and products with serial number aamo1648 to aem01298 (for other countries, including brazil).
