King Systems Double Swivel Connector Recalled for Mislabeling

King Systems Corp. is recalling 900 units of Double Swivel Connectors mislabeled as having a suction port. The error may cause a short procedure delay but poses no risk to patients.

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: The recall is classified as Moderate because it involves a minor labeling error where the source explicitly states there is no risk to the patient, only a potential short delay in procedure.

Plain-English summary

King Systems Corp. is recalling 900 units of Double Swivel Connectors with Suction Port, part number 7169, lot number 1737171. The product is mislabeled; the units are actually Double Swivel Connectors without a suction port. These airway connectors are intended to connect a breathing gas source to a tracheal tube, tracheostomy tube, or gas mask.

The recall was initiated because the incorrect labeling could lead to the use of the wrong component during a clinical procedure. If the incorrect component is not identified prior to clinical use, it would be replaced during the case. The source states that this replacement would occur without risk to the patient, though it could result in a short delay of the procedure.

The affected units were distributed nationwide in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. Healthcare facilities and consumers should check their inventory for part number 7169, lot number 1737171, and contact King Systems Corp. for instructions on returning the product.
