    Description

    Sideport Kit, consisting of an adjustable sideport valve and an O2 port elbow; Mfg. for Corpak MedSystems, Wheeling, IL 60090; 20 units per case; reorder #BLD-83166

    Reason

    The exhalation hole in the sideport relief valve may be blocked, allowing excess pressure build-up.

    Action

    VIASYS telephoned the direct accounts and sent out follow-up faxes on 9/10-11/03, informing them of the potential for a blocked exhalation hole in the sideport relief valve cap which may result in excess pressure build-up. The accounts were instructed to check their inventory for the affected catalog numbers and lots numbers, place any found on hold for return to VIASYS, and sub-recall the affected product from their customers.

    Distribution

    Missouri, Texas, New York, Illinois, Kansas, California, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Massachusetts, Maine, Oklahoma and Virginia.
