Class II — the FDA judged the product may cause temporary or medically reversible harm, with a remote chance of serious harm.
This is the FDA's risk judgment for this recall. It describes the potential of the product as a category — it does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone. Most recalls are Class II or III.
bellavista 1000 Ventilator, Catalogue Number 301.100.030; Continuous Use Ventilator
Why it was recalled
Vyaire Medical identified two patient safety risks during the use of the bellavista 1000 and bellavista 1000e: 1. Under certain conditions of use, the touchscreen may become unresponsive and the device application stops responding (APP Hang). When this occurs, if the user continues to interact with the touchscreen, a message will appear that states DeviceSoftware.Application is not responding or a decommission screen will appear on the user interface. The ventilator will issue both an audible and visual alarm. Ventilation continues without interruption with the settings applied prior to the APP Hang error. 2. The potential for a use error has been identified if the operator applies the proposed settings without confirming the settings are suitable for the patient.
Is your unit affected?
The recall covers only the specific lots or serial numbers the FDA listed. Enter the lot or serial number from your product's label and we'll check it against that list.
A match means your unit may be covered — stop and call your pharmacist before doing anything. No match suggests it isn't covered, but confirm anyway: code formats vary and lists can be incomplete. Your unit not being listed does not guarantee it is safe, and being listed does not mean you have been harmed.

What this is — and is not
A recall is a recorded FDA enforcement action — the FDA logged that a firm is removing or correcting a product. It does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone, and causation is not established by a recall. The class above is the FDA's risk judgment for the product category, not a finding about your unit. This page informs and compares; it is not medical advice and never tells you to start or stop a drug or device.
