PRODUCT
Ventilator-PLV Continuum (PLVC I), Model Number: P1000. The PLVC I is a microprocessor
controlled, compressor-based, mechanical ventilator. It is intended to control
or assist breathing by delivering room air to the patient. It utilizes an
internal compressor to generate compressed air for delivery to the patient.
Breath delivery is controlled by software algorithms. The PLVC I user interface
has a membrane keypad with indicator Light Emitting Diodes for the selection
and acceptance of patient settings and for the display of alarm conditions.
PLVC I provides the following types of ventilatory support: 1) Positive Pressure
Ventilation, delivered either invasively (via endotracheal or tracheostomy
tube) or non-invasively (via mask or mouthpiece ). 2) Assist/Control, Spontaneous
Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV)or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
(CPAP) modes of ventilation. 3) Volume-Controlled (VC). Available in AlC
and SIMV. 4) Pressure-Controlled (PC). Available in AlC and SIMV. 5) Pressure

RECALLING FIRM/MANUFACTURER

Firm initiated recall is ongoing.
REASON
Flow valve failures- When failure occurs, air flow from the ventilator ceases
resulting in the PLVC I transitioning into a 'Vent Inop' mode whereby the
safety valve is activated, opening the circuit to ambient air. Ventilator
dependent patients may not receive adequate ventilatory support if this problem
occurs.

Packaging for some gastrostomy tubes was labeled with incorrect balloon inflation
data. An underinflated balloon may cause misplacement, slippage or premature
removal of the tube. If an underinflated balloon allows the tube to be placed,
