Mallinckrodt One-Way Valve Recalled Due to Potential Oxygen Flow Failure

Mallinckrodt Manufacturing is recalling approximately 13,600 One-Way Valves used with ventilators due to risk of valve sticking and oxygen flow reduction. The Class I recall affects worldwide distribution.

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: This is an FDA Class I recall of a critical respiratory support device. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the valve malfunction directly threatens oxygen delivery to mechanically ventilated patients, and the FDA's Class I designation reflects a reasonable probability of serious injury or death.

Plain-English summary

Mallinckrodt Manufacturing LLC is recalling approximately 13,602 One-Way Valves, model 22F x 22M, designed for use with ventilators. The recall involves Part #91346 (individual unit) and Part #50412 (5-pack), identified by specific lot codes and UDI codes.
