Smiths Medical Recalls Mislabelled Pediatric Tracheostomy Tubes
Smiths Medical is recalling 142 Bivona TTS Pediatric Tracheostomy Tubes because they were incorrectly labeled for neonatal use instead of pediatric use.
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 FDA Class II, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The hazard is a labeling error (mis-labeling) rather than a structural defect or contamination, and no injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
