Description

Monarch Inflation Device and Fluid Dispensing Syringe - Latex Free MERIT MEDICAL. Sterile if package is unopened or undamaged. Part # IN2125/B .

Reason

There is a potential for the PETG blister trays to bond together with varying degrees of attachment. The potential for non-sterility exists when the attached trays are seperated by force and holes or cracks are generated in the seperated trays.

Action

Merit notified sales representatives, domestic and international accounts and dealers immediately by letter dated October 3, 2003. The manufacturer requests that the use of the affected inventory should immediately cease and that on-hand units should be promptly isolated from general inventory for simultaneous inspection by a site representative and a Merit sales representative.

Distribution

Distributed nationwide. International distribution includes Canada, Japan, Korea, England and France.

Quantity

1997 units
