The affected lots may be packaged in syringes which include an incorrect bung. The incorrect bung is made of a latex-free isoprene rubber material. After prolonged storage and exposure to contained solutions, the rubber bung may degrade due to chemical interaction with the bleach solution.

The recall is being initiated due to incorrect age range labeling (8+ yrs) on the foil packaging for infant/child pad cartridges. The infant/child pad cartridge is designed for use with the defibrillator An Infant/Child pad cartridge should not be used on an adult because it delivers lower energy (50 J vs 150 J) than the Adult pads cartridge and may therefore not be effective on an adult.
The inner diameter of the drill sleeve guide raw material was found to be under tolerance, potentially resulting in the drill bit seizing in the guide during surgery.
The sets are configured with quick connectors that have been assembled in reverse on the arterial and venous lines, resulting in blue (venous) to red (arterial) and red (arterial) to blue (venous) connections. Due to this incorrect assembly, the sets cannot be primed from the reservoir prior to use, and the device may not function as intended.
Reported complaints indicate an increased incidence of specific lots of the 15 mm Sheridan connector becoming disconnected from the endotracheal tube (ETT). Disconnection from the breathing circuit may result in insufficient oxygenation, requiring medical intervention.
