🇺🇸 FDA recall #Z-1291-2025Medical device DeRoyal ›

Lower-risk recall

Due to the inner diameter of the suction tubing connector being smaller than the suction canister lid port connection. This size difference, combined with the durometer of the plastic material, makes the assembly to a suction canister lid port difficult. This could result in inadequate suction and cause a delay in patient care.
