Product

Esprit V1000 Ventilator and Esprit/V200 Conversion Ventilator The Esprit V1000 and Esprit/V200 Conversion Ventilators are microprocessor-controlled, electrically powered mechanical ventilators. Intended for use by medical personnel to provide continuous or intermittent ventilator support for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients.

Reason

If the power supply fan mounting screws are installed incorrectly, the ends of the screws may touch the power supply printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) and short to ground. This may prevent the ventilator to switch to battery power if AC power is disrupted.
