Percussionaire Corporation is recalling 195 units of the Distal Phasitron (Part: S20020), which is used with the VDR-4 control unit for respiratory therapy. The breathing circuit's reservoir bag may have been assembled at the wrong attachment point during manufacturing. If the device is used with this assembly error, it will result in the patient receiving less than optimal respiratory therapy. Consumers should check their devices immediately to see if they match the affected lot numbers and expiration dates.
An incorrectly attached reservoir bag prevents the breathing circuit from functioning as intended, which can lead to inadequate ventilation or poor delivery of prescribed respiratory therapy to the patient.
