SunMed Holdings recalls AirLife Broselow Pediatric Emergency Rainbow Tape (2025 Edition) due to incorrect dosage values printed on the tape, which could cause serious harm like cardiac arrest or burns if used improperly.
The impacted tape was manufactured with incorrect information on the tape. Incorrect values are printed in the Red zone, Orange zone, and Grey zone. Using the incorrect values in the Red zone could lead to shocking a patient with an excessive dose of joules, causing significant harm including burns, heart damage, and cardiac arrest. Incorrect values in the Orange zone could lead to overdosing the patient with sodium bicarbonate and cause metabolic alkalosis, electrolyte imbalances, tissue damage, and worsen respiratory status. Incorrect information in the Grey may lead to underdosing the patient with sodium bicarbonate and may cause reduced myocardial contractility, decreased response to vasopressors, and increased risk of dysrhythmia.
SunMed Holdings recalls AirLife's Broselow Pediatric Emergency Rainbow Tape (2025 Edition) because it contains incorrect dosage values in the Red, Orange, and Grey zones. Using these values could lead to severe harm such as cardiac arrest, burns, or electrolyte imbalances in children.
The tape has incorrect values printed in the Red, Orange, and Grey zones. Using the Red zone values could shock a child with too much electricity, causing burns or cardiac arrest.
