Teleflex Medical Recalls LMA MADgic Atomization Devices for Spray Defect

Teleflex Medical is recalling LMA MADgic atomization devices because they may produce a straight stream instead of an atomized plume, potentially causing inadequate anesthesia.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the source text explicitly states that serious adverse health consequences are unlikely, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving a functional defect without reported serious injury.

Plain-English summary

Teleflex Medical is recalling LMA MADgic Atomization Devices with 3mL Syringes. These prescription-only products are used to deliver topical anesthesia via an atomized spray to the oral, nasal, pharyngeal, or laryngeal mucosa. The recall involves 2,674,650 units distributed worldwide, including the United States, Canada, Belgium, Singapore, and Thailand.

The recall is due to a product defect where the devices may produce a straight stream of medication instead of a fully atomized plume. This failure may result in inadequate topical anesthesia, which could lead to patient discomfort, further attempts to deliver anesthesia, or the use of alternative anesthesia methods. The source text notes that it is unlikely that serious adverse health consequences will occur in the event of this failure.

Healthcare providers and patients should stop using the affected lots and contact Teleflex Medical for further instructions. The affected product codes and lot numbers are listed in the official recall notice.
