Device Safety Information – DSI/2026/005

In April 2026, Dräger issued a follow-up Field Safety Notice (FSN) expanding the number of Atlan Anaesthesia workstation devices affected by a manufacturing defect that may result in piston ventilator failure before or during use.

The FSN extends from a previous FSN issued in October 2024 concerning the same issue. Failure of mechanical ventilation may interrupt ventilation delivery and require immediate transition to manual/spontaneous ventilation. Dräger is correcting the affected devices and warning users of the risks and mitigations while corrective actions are being completed.

As of 29 July 2026, the manufacturer reports no confirmed patient injuries or deaths associated with this issue.
