The firm advised their customers to discontinue use and take steps to remove affected units from further use. The manufacturer will replace the current endotracheal airway and cuff within the kits identified with a new cuffed airway in its own sterile packaging. The recaller included two response forms for customers to return: The Acknowledgement of Recall Form is provided for those who can quarantine the Cricothyrotomy Kits indicated in the recall. The form confirms notification of this recall and discontinued use of affected devices and provides details regarding the accounting and quarantine of the product lots in question for return and correction. The Product Recall Replacement Part Request Form is only required when inventory quarantine is not feasible. This form acknowledges the receipt of this notification and the undersigned accepts the responsibility for affixing the replacement airways along with the instructions that H&H Medical Corporation will provide. The undersigned also assumes the responsibility to inform users regarding the subject of this recall, requires the use of the replacement airways over the airways provided in the affected kits and requires the disposal of the airways within the kits upon opening.
