Why it was recalled

Some adaptors, for use with high frequency ventilators, were packaged improperly, and may deform at the tip, which may impair the ability to pass a suction catheter or may affect normal ventilator performance, which may lead to hypercarbia, hypoxia, and gas trapping.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.

What was recalled

2.5 mm LifePort Endotracheal Tube Adapters 10-pack, Catalog: 9025; and 2.5 mm LifePort Endotracheal Tube Adaptors inside Patient Circuit Kits, Catalog: 938
