The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II medical device with no reported illnesses or injuries. However, the recall addresses a risk-of-harm situation where difficulty disconnecting adapters could lead to treatment delays, unintended extubation, respiratory failure, hypoxia, and aspiration in critical care patients, meeting the criteria for High severity.
Plain-English summary
Oridion Medical 1987 Ltd. is recalling Microstream Advance Neonatal-Infant Intubated CO2 Filter Lines (Part Number PT00134354, Revision A) due to a disconnection difficulty issue. The device adapters may become difficult or impossible to disconnect from the endotracheal tube during routine clinical procedures such as suctioning.
If the adapter cannot be disconnected as intended, it may delay necessary treatment and cause unintended extubation. These complications could lead to respiratory failure, hypoxia (low blood oxygen), aspiration, and dangerously low oxygen saturation, particularly in neonatal and pediatric patients dependent on mechanical ventilation.
The recall affects approximately 350 units distributed worldwide, including throughout all regions of the United States and internationally. Affected healthcare facilities should immediately inspect their inventory for the recalled devices and contact Oridion Medical 1987 Ltd. for guidance on device replacement or corrective actions.
