Vyaire Flexible Patient Circuit 3100A Distributed Without U.S. Approval

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.

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: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is regulatory non-compliance—circuits approved only for use outside the United States were distributed in the U.S. market. This is primarily a distribution compliance issue rather than a direct product defect.
