A cable inside React Health's VOCSN ventilators, machines used in homes as well as hospitals, can work loose after a hard knock such as a drop and make the machine reboot; the FDA's September 23 early alert covers every unit with serial number 112786 or higher, and the company's September 17 letter says to keep backup ventilation ready and run a checkout procedure after any drop.
The Food and Drug Administration issued an early alert on September 23 for React Health's VOCSN ventilators, which are used at home as well as in hospitals and in transport, for patients from children to adults weighing at least 5 kg. A cable inside the machine can come partly or fully unseated, and a hard knock such as a drop can cause it; the ventilator can then reboot and show recurring System Fault 10 alarms. A reboot during use would interrupt ventilation. The alert covers every VOCSN-series machine with serial number 112786 or higher. React Health's September 17 letter to customers says to keep backup ventilation working and ready, keep the machine on a flat, stable surface or in its roll stand or carry bag, run the manual's Checkout Procedure after any drop or impact, and not stop therapy without an alternative and a clinician's instruction. The company says no reboots during therapy have been reported and calls that risk remote; as of August 12, 2026, it had reported no serious injuries or deaths.
