Reason

Dräger has become aware of a case in which a VentStar Helix heated breathing circuit was operated used together with a Fisher & Paykel MR810 humidifier. This product combination is not approved. The humidifier used did not detect previously unexplained damage to the heating wire of the VentStar Helix Heated. This led to the ignition of the breathing gas and the affected patient suffered burns if Dräger breathing circuits are used with humidifiers other than the Fisher &Amp; Paykel MR850 humidifier indicated in the instructions for use, patients and/or users can be injured if an error occurs.
