Smiths Medical ASD, Inc. is recalling approximately 175,994 CAPNOCHECK BCI Airway Adapters (Models WW1100 and WW8214) because they may break off when attaching valves or tubes. This defect can lead to inaccurate medical readings, a break in the patient's airway circuit, and a complete loss of mechanical ventilation. These adapters are used in clinical settings and were distributed nationwide across the United States.
A break in the airway circuit can prevent a patient from receiving necessary oxygen, potentially leading to hypoxia, cardiopulmonary collapse, or death. While no injuries have been reported to date, the device failure poses a severe high-risk threat to patient safety.
