Issue: Draeger Medical is recalling the Oxylog 3000 Plus Emergency and Transport Ventilator after receiving reports that the device stopped ventilation because of a depleted battery, even after being re-connected to AC power. The ventilator may not automatically switch back to using AC power when it is plugged in and may continue using the battery until it is depleted, then stop providing ventilation. A battery alarm: “Charge int. battery” and “Int. battery discharged” does occur with this issue.

Stopped ventilation may cause difficulty breathing (respiratory distress), lack of oxygen (hypoxia), slow heartbeat (bradycardia), a sudden stop of the heart (cardiopulmonary arrest), other severe injuries, or death.
