The FDA today released information on a select recall of Medtronic‘s Newport HT70 and HT70 Plus ventilators over software issues which could cause unexpected shutdowns.
The Newport HT70 and HT70 plus ventilators are designed to provide breathing support for patients in need of mechanical ventilation. The devices can be used with infant, pediatric or adult patients who weigh more than 11 pounds, and are used in hospitals, healthcare facilities, home care environments and can be used during transport and emergency response situations, according to the FDA.
