Hillrom VOLARA P.CIRCUIT Medical Device Nebulizer Cup Leakage Recall

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling the Hillrom VOLARA P.CIRCUIT 5KIT medical device due to reports of air and medication leakage from the nebulizer cup, which can reduce oxygen levels and compromise medication delivery.

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: FDA Class I recall for a respiratory medical device where the defect (leakage leading to oxygen level drop and treatment failure) poses serious risk to patient safety, meeting the Severe threshold for Class I with potential for significant harm even though no hospitalizations are explicitly reported in the source.

Plain-English summary

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is recalling the Hillrom VOLARA P.CIRCUIT 5KIT (System Single Patient Use Circuit, Model/Catalog Number REF M08270), an oscillation lung expansion therapy and positive pressure breathing device. The device has been distributed worldwide, including US Nationwide and Canada, beginning April 28, 2025.

Reports indicate that air and medication can leak from the nebulizer cup during therapy. The leakage occurs due to improper locking of the nebulizer cup after medication is added during user setup. This malfunction can result in decreased oxygen levels in the patient and ineffective nebulization, potentially compromising the delivery of prescribed treatment.
