Executive Summary
SIEMENS' 3-GAS 962 ANESTHESIA MIXER CLASS I RECALL IS COMPLETE, with all 15 of the affected devices replaced as of April 8, Siemens Medical Systems says. The mixer (Part #906588) was recalled in early March because a manufacturing error at Siemens-Elma's Life Support Systems division, a Solna, Sweden-based Siemens affiliate, resulted in the oxygen hose being connected to the nitrous oxide inlet and vice versa.
