Cardinal Health is recalling approximately 3,783,489 Medi-Vac CRD Suction Canister Liners (1 Liter size) because they may lose suction during use. The issue is caused by the liner not aligning correctly with the outer hard canister, particularly when set to low or intermittent suction settings. If this happens during a medical procedure, it could prevent the removal of fluids, potentially delaying treatment. Consumers should check their inventory for the specific lot numbers and reference codes involved in this voluntary recall.
A misalignment between the liner and the canister can cause a complete or partial loss of suction. This failure could lead to an inability to remove surgical fluids or secretions, which may result in procedural delays or medical complications during patient care.
