  • Cause
    A potential safety issue has been identified with the optional vacuum suction function of certain devices within the aisys family of anaesthesia machines. the vacuum suction tubing could be kinked within the machine, resulting in suction less than the 20 lpm specified by iso 10079-3. if this issue is left unresolved, it could result in inadequate suction performance to clear the airway and inadequate ventilation of the patient. this issue only impacts the vacuum suction option on certain aisys family devices. there is no impact on other performance characteristics of the anaesthesia machine. there have been no injuries reported as a result of this issue.
  • Action
    GE Healthcare is advising users that all functions of the anaesthesia device can continue to be used. Users can continue to use the vacuum suction option if it has been evaluated against the minimum flow of 20 lpm as indicated above and with reference to the performance specification identified in the device URM (noted approximate maximum flow of 39 lpm). If the device does not pass the evaluation as being adequate, do not use for suction and ensure standalone suction is immediately available. This action has been closed-out on 02/02/2017.
