FDA Devices Critical Class I Ongoing

Astral 100 and Astral 150 ventilators

Reported: November 1, 2023 Initiated: September 13, 2023 #Z-0111-2024

Product Description

Astral 100 and Astral 150 ventilators

Reason for Recall

If ventilator is on internal battery, not intended to serve as a primary power source, low/critically low battery alarms will sound, but a fault leads to sudden power loss. If power fails, then ventilation stops and a Total Power Failure (TPF) alarm should sound, but it's powered by a supercapacitor, which degrades over time, which may cause TPF alarm to sound for less than 2 minutes or not at all
