Plain-English summary

Cardinal Health, Medical Products & Services is recalling 4,571 Presource PBDS, Extremity, Kit, Circulator units. The recall involves catalog number PO24EXNPD01 and specific lots: 852429, 868825, 883022, 896400, 914524, 929984, 941696, and 954317. These kits were distributed in the states of Arkansas, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

The recall was initiated because the kits contain a pre-assembled Filter and Anesthesia Circuit that may have outer plastic packaging on one or more components. If this packaging is removed without disassembling the components, remnants of the plastic may become lodged in the filter. This can potentially cause an obstruction of airflow.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has classified this recall as Class I. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the affected kits and contact Cardinal Health for further instructions.
