Degania Silicone Jackson-Pratt Channel Drain Recall for Breakage Risk

Degania Silicone is recalling 640 units of Jackson-Pratt Channel Drains because they may break during use or removal, requiring additional surgery.

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 recall involves a medical device defect that requires additional surgical intervention to remove broken parts from the patient's body, which constitutes a significant injury risk and aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for significant injury reports or high-risk medical device defects.

Plain-English summary

Degania Silicone, Ltd. is recalling 640 units of Cardinal Health Jackson-Pratt Channel Drains (15FR and 19FR). The affected products are identified by lot codes 1900956 and P1900955 and were distributed nationwide.

The recall was initiated because the drain channel may break during use, specifically at the connection point between the clear tube and the white profile part. This breakage is most likely to occur during removal of the device.

If the drain breaks, the broken end may remain in the patient's body, requiring additional surgical intervention to remove it. Healthcare providers should stop using the affected lots and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
