Respironics V680 Ventilator

Reason

The touchscreen must be used to change certain therapy settings. The touchscreens in affected units may become frozen and fail to respond to touch commands. Consequently, if a patient requires a change in a ventilator therapy setting, e.g., FIO2, the change could not be made. Although it would be immediately apparent to the user that the changes cannot be made, there is no advance warning of touchscreen failure.
