Perseus A500

Reason

Drager has become aware of isolated cases in which the medibus interface of the Perseus A500 was disrupted by external non- medibus-compliant data packages such that the internal processor became overloaded. This resulted in delays to the display of ventilation curves on the screen of the Perseus, and subsequently the devices in question performed warm starts. As a result, the ventilation pressure dropped and ventilation was interrupted for a few seconds before therapy was resumed with the same settings as before.
