Medtronic PLC has recalled about 650 ventilators in the U.S. because a software glitch may cause the machines to deliver too little oxygen to neonatal patients. It was the second serious recall of the breathing device in a year.
The affected ventilator is called the Puritan Bennett 980 Ventilator System. The Food and Drug Administration announced Wednesday that Medtronic started notifying hospitals in July of the latest issue, which the agency classified a Class 1 recall because the lack of oxygen can lead to injuries or death.
