Plain-English summary
Cardinal Health, Medical Products & Services is recalling 4,571 units of the Presource PBDS, Knee Arthroscopy, Kit, Circulator. The recall involves specific catalog number PO24KAGWE01 and lots 839276, 851503, 884374, 905171, 946381, 952446, and 959782. 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. Healthcare facilities and consumers who have these specific kits should stop using them and contact Cardinal Health for further instructions.
