Plain-English summary

Medline anesthesia circuit kits and other kits containing anesthesia circuits are being recalled, including ADULT 120 EXPANDABLE W/MASK (DYNJAA10591), ANES CIRC 120IN EXP-LF (DYNJAA6555G) and ANES CIRCUIT ADULT 120 IN-LF (DYNJAA10817).

The firm received multiple complaints of anesthesia circuit leaks due to cracks in the 120 inch expandable tubing. Medline states that cracks and resulting leaks may lead to hypoxia, hypoventilation and inadequate delivery of inhaled anesthetic agents, which may result in serious injury or death, and that volatile anesthetics may also escape into the operating room environment.

The action covers 96,406 total units across the affected products, with identifiers including case UDI-DI 40193489400268 and each UDI-DI 10193489400267 for DYNJAA0309A, lots 25EBU353 and 25GBI473. Distribution was nationwide in the United States and internationally to Mexico and Panama. The FDA has classified the recall as Class I, its most serious category.

Facilities should quarantine affected lots immediately and follow Medline's instructions.
