CareFusion Recalls Select AVEA Ventilators Over Electrical Issues That May Cause an Unexpected Shutdown

The FDA yesterday released information on a select recall of CareFusion AVEA Ventilators due to electrical issues which could cause unexpected shutdowns.

The federal watchdog labeled the recall as a Class I, the agency’s most serious classification of recall. Class 1 designations are used when there is a reasonable probability that product use could cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

The AVEA ventilator is designed to support continuous breathing for infants, children and adults at hospitals and professional health care facilities.
