## Details

- Record Type: CHINA_PRODUCT_RECALL
- Title: Newbond Medical Instruments Inc. of the United States is recalling ventilators.
- Company Name: Newbond Medical Instruments Co., Ltd. (USA)
- Publication Date: 2013-06-17
- Product Name: Ventilator
- Recall Reason: The Newport HT70 ventilator issues a warning and switches to its internal backup battery earlier when using Power Pac batteries. In the first scenario, when the ventilator is operating on Power Pac batteries, the Newport HT70/HT70 Plus display may show a full battery level, when the actual battery capacity is less than full; in this case, the ventilator will issue a warning and switch to the backup battery earlier. In the second scenario, the ventilator may issue a warning and switch to its internal backup battery immediately upon disconnection of AC power.

- Summary: Newport Medical Instruments, Inc. initiated a voluntary recall of its HT 70 ventilators, specifically impacting Power Pac batteries, as announced by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) on June 17, 2013, following an initial report on May 6, 2013. The recall was prompted by critical battery display and power management issues. The primary defect involves the ventilator's display showing a full battery level when the actual capacity is significantly lower, leading to the device issuing a premature warning and switching to its internal backup battery. A second issue involves the ventilator immediately alarming and switching to backup power upon disconnection from AC electricity. While the internal backup battery provides approximately 30 minutes of operation, these malfunctions necessitate users to have an alternative power source readily available. No adverse patient impacts were reported at the time of the recall. Under the regulatory oversight of the NMPA, Newport Medical Instruments, Inc., through its responsible unit in China, Shanghai Newport Trading Co., Ltd., confirmed on-site corrective actions. The company committed to providing free replacements for affected Power Pac batteries, identified by specific serial numbers and version ranges (C to F). This recall affects 100 units sold in China, with 31 units remaining in inventory, out of a total of 131 units produced or imported globally. Provincial regulatory bodies were advised to enhance supervision of these products.
