Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Halyard Health, Inc. is recalling specific lots of the NovaPlus Trach Care Closed Suction System for Adults. The affected products include the T-Piece, 14F (Product Code 2V220135) and the Clear T-Piece, 14F (Product Code 2V2205). These devices are tracheobronchial suction catheters attached to an airway circuit to aspirate liquids or semisolids from a patient's upper airway.

The recall was initiated because the thumb valve on some of these systems remained partially open after suctioning was completed, even when the valve appeared to be closed or in the "LOCKED" position. This defect could compromise the closed nature of the suction system.

The affected products were distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States, Puerto Rico, and internationally to Canada. Specific lot numbers are listed in the structured product information. Healthcare providers and patients should stop using these devices and contact Halyard Health for instructions on replacement or return.
