International safety notice

Dräger Disposable Breathing Circuits and Dräger Disposable Breathing Circuits and We have received information that foreign matter has been found in the disposable breathing circuit III. The cause of foreign matter contamination is a manufacturing defect in the target product, and components used in the circuit material remain in the circuit as particles. It was something that existed. In our investigation, we determined that it would be difficult to detect these particles during a visual inspection of the product before use. At this time, we have not received any reports of being affected by these particles in Japan or overseas. As we could not rule out the possibility that the product had been shipped to the market, we decided to begin a recall. Regarding applicable products, all lots shipped in the past are eligible, but the expiration date of applicable products is 3 years, so This applies to all lots shipped after 2020.
