Vapotherm 2000i contamination and bacterial-outbreak controversy
Contaminated Vapotherm 2000i respiratory gas humidification devices were associated with an outbreak of Ralstonia mannitolilytica among children in the United States. Vapotherm recalled all 2000i units, then worked with the FDA and CDC on revised operating guidance and risk controls before the product was reintroduced.
