Why it was recalled
Some adaptors, for use with high frequency ventilators, were packaged improperly, and may deform at the tip, which may impair the ability to pass a suction catheter or may affect normal ventilator performance, which may lead to hypercarbia, hypoxia, and gas trapping.
FDA root cause category: Packaging process control
