Reported risk: Dear Servo 300 / 300A User, Over the past several years, Siemens has received problem reports concerning the Servo 300 / 300A (SV300 / 300A) ventilators. This letter describes corrective actions you can take to prevent problems, and should also serve as a reminder to follow the procedures for service and maintenance as outlined in the Operating Manual and Service Manual for the SV300 / 300A. Gas Modules Siemens has received reports from Canadian hospitals and worldwide in which smoke is produced from the gas module circuit board, after which the ventilator ceases to operate. The reported incidence among installed units worldwide is low, but a much higher incidence has been seen in Canada, and will be investigated by Siemens.
