    Reason

    The firm is updating the IFU to clarify the intended patient population for the identified chest drainage units and accessories as adults, 18 years and older. When used on infants, the CDU may not demonstrate tidaling/bubbling, which may confound the clinician's assessment of device functionality and lead to inadequate/inappropriate treatment/therapy, delay to treatment/therapy, and prolonged hospitalization.

    Action

    On December 26, 2025, the firm notified customers via Urgent Medical Device Product Advisory letters. Customers were instructed to continuing utilizing the CDUs on adult patients (not pediatric patients or infants). The updated IFU for affected product codes can be found at https://www.mycardinalmsds.com/
