What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and is a voluntary precautionary action for a packaging error involving a medical device component size mismatch, with no reported injuries or illnesses in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Carefusion 2200 Inc is conducting a voluntary Field Safety Corrective Action for the Broselow/Hinkle Pediatric Emergency System, specifically the Broselow Complete Set of Colored Pouches (Product Code 7730MOD). The recall affects 50 units distributed in Illinois. The specific issue involves the PINK/RED Oxygen Delivery Module (7700RAW), where the Oral Airway pouch is incorrectly packaged with an 8 cm Berman Oral Airway component, despite the pouch being labeled for a 5 cm component.

The PINK/RED Oxygen Delivery Module is intended for use within the PINK/RED Pouch of the Broselow pediatric safety system. The affected lots are 914873, 914876, and 914878 of the individual modules, which are contained in Lot number 916714 of the complete set. The expiration date for these units is March 2018.

Healthcare providers and consumers should check their inventory for the affected lot numbers and stop using the PINK/RED Oxygen Delivery Module if it matches the identified lots. The incorrect airway size may not be appropriate for the intended patient size associated with the PINK/RED color coding in the Broselow system.
