Inspiration Ventilator Recall News
On December 7, 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that eVent Medical had issued a recall of their LS, 5i, or 7i Inspiration ventilators due to a device flaw that may cause the machine to turn off without alarm. For a device that may provide breath for people who have lost ability to breathe on their own, a device failure such as this could have been especially hazardous; however, the company received only one report of this issue occurring, with no reported injuries or deaths.
The Inspiration ventilator recall was initiated due to a faulty switch on the ventilators’ power board, which caused the ventilator to shut down without sounding an alarm.
