SunMed Holdings, LLC: Ventlab and Curaplex Manual Resuscitators Recalled for CO2 Rebreathing Risk

Agency Publication Date: November 21, 2023

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

SunMed Holdings is recalling several brands of manual resuscitators, including AirFlow, BreathTech, Horizon, RescuMed, SafeSpot, STAT-Check, V-Care, and Curaplex models equipped with integrated manometers. These medical devices are used to provide ventilation to patients who are not breathing adequately, but a defect in the valve allows a "backwards leak" to occur. This leak can cause patients to breathe in their own exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2) instead of receiving fresh oxygen, which could lead to serious health complications. These devices were manufactured from September 21, 2018, to the present and distributed nationwide.

Risk

A backwards leak in the integrated manometer of the patient valve allows for the rebreathing of exhaled carbon dioxide. This failure to properly ventilate the patient can result in hypercapnia (excessive CO2 in the blood), hypoxia (insufficient oxygen), and potential respiratory failure.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have an affected resuscitator by checking the brand name and reference numbers (REF #) on the device packaging or the device itself. Affected brands include Ventlab AirFlow, BreathTech, Horizon, RescuMed, SafeSpot, STAT-Check, V-Care, Curaplex, and Medline.
  2. Specifically check for products manufactured from September 21, 2018, to the present, with expiration dates as late as October 11, 2028. Key reference numbers include AF1140MB, BT2014, 9122HZ, BVM510-F, SS3200MB, SC7101B, VN4100MB, 2442-BVMPAD, and CPRM1116FPM among many others listed in the recall.
  3. Examine the Unique Device Identifier (UDI-DI) codes on the product label, such as 10889483075814 for AirFlow or 10889483090787 for BreathTech, to confirm if your specific unit is part of the recall.
  4. Stop using any affected resuscitator immediately and quarantine the devices to ensure they are not used in a medical emergency.
  5. Contact your healthcare provider or SunMed Holdings, LLC directly for instructions on how to return the defective devices and to arrange for replacements or credits.
  6. For further information or to report a problem, contact the FDA at 1-888-463-6332 or visit the official FDA medical device recall website at www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls.
