Medline Industries, LP is recalling approximately 142,101 suction catheter kits and intubation trays because a smaller 8 Fr catheter may have been packed instead of the required 14 Fr size. Using the smaller catheter can lead to serious breathing complications, including partial or full airway obstruction, which may require emergency medical intervention. Affected products include the Medline 14 Fr Suction Catheter Kit and the Adult Intubation Tray distributed across the United States and Canada.
The smaller catheter can cause hypoxia or respiratory failure due to an obstructed airway. This may lead to prolonged medical procedures, airway irritation, or death if immediate intervention is not provided.
