Merit Medical Systems, Inc. is recalling 18,004 units of High Pressure Tubing, Custom Tubing Kits, Custom Manifold Kits, and Custom Waste Management Kits. Over time, the high-pressure tubing in these kits may relax and partially separate from its connector, creating a void that can trap air. If these products are used during a medical procedure, the trapped air could be introduced into the patient's body. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
If air from the tubing is introduced into a patient, it can lead to an air embolism, which is a blockage of blood flow that can cause serious medical complications or death. The risk occurs because the tubing material can loosen its grip on the connector over time, allowing air bubbles to form in the line.
