PRODUCT The PL V Continuum
ventilator is a microprocessor controlled, compressorbased, mechanical
ventilator. It is intended to control or assist breathing by delivering room air
to the patient. PL V Continuum utilizes an internal compressor to generate
compressed air for delivery to the patient. Breath delivery is controlled by
software algorithms. The user interface on PL V Continuum has a membrane keypad
with indicator Light Emitting Diodes (LED) for the selection and acceptance of
patient settings and for the display of alarm conditions. PL V Continuum is
capable of providing the following types of ventilatory support: Positive
Pressure Ventilation, delivered either invasively (via endotracheal or
tracheostomy tube) or non-invasively (via mask or mouthpiece). . Assist/Control,
Spontaneous Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) or Continuous Positive
Airway Pressure (CP AP) modes of ventilation. . Volume-Controlled (VC).
Available in AlC and SIMV. . Pressure-Controlled (PC). Available in AlC and SIMV. . Pressure Support (PS). Available in SIMV and

FIRM/MANUFACTURER Respironics California, Inc., Carlsbad, CA
REASON
During product
testing of the PLY Continuum Ventilator's Safety Valve/Pressure Relief Valve (SV/PRV) at our manufacturing facility, Respironics found that when the PLY
Continuum Ventilator is operated in the 'Face Up' orientation, the SV /PRV may
stick in the open position, which may result in loss of delivered gas volume to
the patient.

Vapotherm ISSUES URGENT NATIONWIDE RECALL OF All Vapotherm® 2000i Respiratory Gas Humidification Devices
Vapotherm, Inc., Stevensville, Maryland, is initiating a nationwide recall of all Vapotherm 2000i Respiratory Gas Humidification devices. Some of these devices have been found to contain the Ralstonia species of bacteria. Ralstonia, as with any gram negative organism, may cause infection, sepsis and in most severe cases be life threatening.
Health care practitioners should seek alternative respiratory gas humidification devices. Any health care facilities that have the Vapotherm 2000i device must return all devices to Vapotherm, Inc. Instructions for return are listed on our recall information website at http://www.vtherm.com/recall or by calling Vapotherm, Inc. at 1-866-827-6843. The “Vapotherm 2000i” label is located on the front of the device on the lower right hand corner. If there is a question in identification of the product please contact Vapotherm for assistance.
This device is used in both the home and in health care institutions for warming and humidifying breathing gases, such as oxygen, delivered by nasal cannula.
The Vapotherm 2000i devices were distributed through specialty distributors in the U.S. and internationally. Consumers with questions regarding this recall may contact the company at 1-866-827-6843, or Kevin Thibodeau at 410-604-3977.
