Why these products were recalled

The thumb valve of some KIMVENT Closed Suction Systems remained partially open after suctioning was completed, even though the valve appeared to be closed or in the "LOCKED" position.

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.
