Dräger Drägerwerk AG & Co... GaA, 23542 Lübeck To our customers of the Dräger anesthesia machines Fabius GS Premium, Tiro, Tiro D-M, MRI, plus, plus XL February 2018 Important safety notice!!! Potential failure of automatic and manual Ventilation of Fabius devices... ffected are only Fabius devices with the serial numbers specified in the enclosure... ther anesthesia devices are NOT affected! Dear Sir/Madam, As part of our global market monitoring, we have become aware of a case in which the automatic Ventilation of a Fabius failed during Operation... entilation of the patient was continued by means of the ManSpont mode and a manual resuscitator... o injury was reported... ur investigation revealed that in this individual case excess oil from a production step interfered with the position detection of the Ventilator motor during Operation... e cannot completely rule out that the devices specified in the enclosure also contain excess oil which may, in the worst case, interfere with the position detection of the Ventilator motor... ccording to our records, you have been supplied with one or more of the devices with the affected serial numbers... If the position detection of the motor is disturbed, the automatic Ventilation may fail and the device alerts the user by displaying the message "VENTILATOR FAIL!!!"... lthough this has not occurred yet, manual Ventilation may also fail if the Ventilator cover is damaged... e are currently producing replacement motors for the potentially affected devices... ur Dräger Service will contact you and arrange an appointment for replacing the motor, free of Charge...
