Reported risk: Several cases have come to Draeger's attention in which cracks have formed in the breathing hose during ventilation. If a crack forms in the breathing hose during operation, a leak will result that can negatively affect ventilation of the patient. If the breathing circuit is used with devices listed as compatible in the Instructions for Use, any leakages will be detected and the device will give an alarm.
