CareFusion Recalls Adult and Pediatric Manual Resuscitators Due to Oxygen Flow Blockage

CareFusion is recalling 14,112 manual resuscitators because a blocked oxygen connector may prevent supplemental oxygen from reaching the patient.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states the defect 'may pose a serious patient safety risk' and involves a critical life-support function (oxygen delivery), which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating involving significant injury risk or structural defects in high-risk medical devices.

Plain-English summary

CareFusion 2200 Inc is recalling 14,112 units of Adult, Pediatric, and Infant Manual Resuscitators. The affected products include various configurations with oxygen reservoir bags, tubing, and masks, identified by specific product codes and lot numbers listed in the recall notice.

The recall was initiated after CareFusion received four customer reports that an oxygen connector component within the resuscitation bag was occluded. This blockage disables the flow of supplemental oxygen to the resuscitation bag, which the company states may pose a serious patient safety risk.

The affected units were distributed nationwide in the United States, specifically in the states of AZ, CA, CO, DE, FL, GA, IL, LA, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, MS, NC, NJ, NM, NY, OH, PA, TX, UT, and WA. Users should check their inventory for the specific product codes and lot numbers provided in the official recall documentation and contact CareFusion for instructions on returning the devices.
