Why these products were recalled

Various Presource Kits contain a pre-assembled Filter and Anesthesia Circuit that may contain outer plastic packaging on one or more components. If the packaging is removed without disassembling the components, remnants of the plastic from the packaging material may become lodged in the filter potentially causing an obstruction of airflow.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
