Description

AirLife Adult Manual Resuscitator, 40" (1.0m) Oxygen Reservoir Tubing, Adult Mask, REF 2K8004

Reason

Risk of hypoventilation caused by duckbill and ring broken/disassembled, due to faulty mold/tooling producing out of specification components.

The mold/tooling used to produce the affected component was replaced in 2017.
