Ambu Inc. has recalled approximately 87,156 Ambu SPUR II Adult and Pediatric Resuscitators because the port for the manometer (the pressure gauge) may be blocked. This manufacturing defect prevents the manometer from functioning, making it impossible for medical providers to monitor the air pressure being delivered to a patient. The recall affects 39 different catalog models distributed worldwide. If you have an affected device, stop using it immediately and contact the manufacturer or your distributor for a replacement.
A blocked manometer port prevents the resuscitator from accurately measuring and displaying airway pressure during use. This can lead to medical staff delivering too much or too little pressure to a patient's lungs, which can cause lung injury or fail to provide adequate oxygenation, especially in critical care or pediatric patients.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
