FDA (Devices) recall action 93332
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 2 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 2 pages.
Two patient circuits, 29028-003 and 29028-004, for the 3100 High Frequency Oscillatory ventilator that are only approved for use outside the U.S. were distributed in the U.S.
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.
Vyaire's Flexible Patient Circuits (29028-004) for the 3100A ventilator were distributed in the U.S., despite being approved only for use outside the U.S. They do not meet U.S. regulatory requirements.
Vyaire Medical recalled 188 Flexible Patient Circuit 3100A units distributed in Florida that were approved only for use outside the United States. The circuits were mistakenly distributed in the U.S. market.
