Dräger Issues Worldwide Voluntary Recall Notification for Carina Sub-Acute Care Ventilators to Address Possible Contamination of the Breathing Gas with 1,3-Dichloropropan-2-ol
Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA initiated a voluntary recall notification for Dräger Carina Sub- Acute Care Ventilators to address possible contamination of the breathing gas with 1,3- Dichloropropan-2-ol, a constituent of the PE-PUR foam used for sound insulation. To date, Dräger’s market surveillance activities show that no complaints relating to this problem have been reported.
To determine the long-term stability of the polyether polyurethane (PE-PUR) foam used for sound insulation in Carina ventilators, Dräger subjected devices of different ages to biocompatibility tests. For Carina ventilators operated for periods of up to 15 years, no age-related degradation or decay products associated with degradation were found in those standard tests.
However, certain standard tests conducted by Dräger measured concentrations of 1,3-Dichloropropan- 2-ol above the acceptable uptake level during continuous use (>30 days) in pediatric patients. Dräger’s investigations determined that a setting of higher minute volumes leads to lower concentrations in the breathing air. At a minute volume greater than 3.6 l/min, the measured concentrations were in the acceptable range for continuous use in adult patients.
1,3-Dichloropropan-2-ol is a constituent of the polyurethane foam, which was not discovered in the breathing gas during previous biocompatibility tests conducted within the framework of product approvals and modifications.
