Description

Reason

The firm is updating the IFU to clarify the intended patient population for the identified chest drainage units and accessories as adults, 18 years and older. When used on infants, the CDU may not demonstrate tidaling/bubbling, which may confound the clinician's assessment of device functionality and lead to inadequate/inappropriate treatment/therapy, delay to treatment/therapy, and prolonged hospitalization.
