Description

Rusch (Latex Free) Neoprene Pecan Shaped Breathing Bag with 15 mm neck insert, size 1 liter; a rebreathing bag; Teleflex Medical, Bannockburn, IL 60015 USA, Made in UK

Reason

Mislabeling-The rebreathing bag is incorrectly labeled as a 1 liter bag when it is actually a 1/2 liter bag.

Action

Teleflex Medical sent Urgent Medical Device Recall letters dated 10/31/06 via UPS overnight to the direct accounts, informing them that the product was incorrectly labeled as a 1 liter bag when the correct volume of the bag is liter, and requesting that they cease use of the affected units and destroy them. If the accounts further distributed the product, they were requested to conduct a sub-recall of the affected units from their customers. The accounts were instructed to complete and return by fax the enclosed Acknowledgement & Stock Status Form, indicating the number of units destroyed and if they are requesting replacement product. Any questions were directed to Linda Todd at 1-800-334-9751, ext. 4951.
