Emergency Products & Research is recalling approximately 190,000 O.T.D - Optimum Traction Device (Street Orange) single-use traction splints due to a defect where the adhesive fails to secure the pole insert. This recall affects Model EP-800 devices from six specific lots manufactured in the United States. If the adhesive fails, the splint may not provide the necessary mechanical traction required to stabilize a patient's limb during emergency transport.
The failure of the adhesive can cause the pole insert to become loose or detached, rendering the traction splint ineffective. This could lead to a loss of limb stabilization for patients with fractures, potentially causing further injury, increased pain, or complications during emergency medical care.
