Merit Medical recalls Custom Waste Management Kits with specific model numbers due to high pressure tubing that may relax over time, potentially trapping air in the patient's line. Affected units include K10-00353K, K10-01603C, K10-01694Q, K10-05159B, K10-05743, and K10-05825AP.
High pressure tubing may relax over time causing it to partially separate from the connector resulting in a void that can trap air in the line. Use of the affected product may result in the trapped air being introduced into the patient.
