The action is being initiated due to a potential issue with the smoothbore hoses of the catheter mounts. Under stress, these hoses could tear, potentially resulting in leakage. If leakage occurs, the ability of ventilators or anesthesia devices to compensate depends on the size of the leak and the ventilation pressure settings. In cases where compensation is not possible, ventilation may be restricted, posing a risk of desaturation or hypoxia for the patient.
