| Issue: | The manufacturer identified a problem that under certain conditions might prevent the device from performing as intended. In some cases, Flow family anesthesia machines have not delivered anesthetic agent when the vaporizer(s) were switched on. These events have only been observed during the start-up phase of a case. This problem may stop the intended functioning of the device, resulting in failure to deliver anesthetic agent. This may result in the patient receiving insufficient anesthesia and may lead to intraoperative awareness. |
