DeRoyal Suction Connector Tubing Recalled for Assembly and Function Issues
DeRoyal suction connector tubing in five U.S. states has been recalled because the connector's inner diameter is smaller than the suction canister lid port, making assembly difficult and risking inadequate suction and delayed patient care.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary
DeRoyal Industries Inc is recalling three models of suction connector tubing: REF 71-C5100NS, REF 71-C6100NS, and REF 71-C7100NS. The products have been distributed in Illinois, Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, affecting approximately 714 cases.
These tubing connectors are intended for fluid movement and are designed to attach to suction canister lids. The inner diameter of the connector tubing is smaller than the port connection on the suction canister lid. Combined with the durometer (hardness) of the plastic material, this size mismatch makes the assembly difficult.
When the connector does not assemble properly, it may result in inadequate suction, potentially causing delays in patient care. This is a Class II medical device recall.
