Armstrong Medical recalls AMSORB PLUS PREFILLED G-CAN 1.0L carbon dioxide absorbent canisters with product codes AMAB3801 and AMAB3801GE due to potential high resistance to gas flow during anesthesia, which could delay treatment. Affected units were sold from specific production lots.
Some devices may be associated with high and unexpected resistance to gas flow during clinical use, impacting or preventing adequate ventilation of an anaesthetised patient, which could cause a delay in treatment. Not all defective canisters will be identified by the pre-use test.
Armstrong Medical is recalling certain carbon dioxide absorbent canisters used in anesthesia because some may cause high resistance to gas flow during patient ventilation, potentially delaying critical treatment. This could be serious for patients under anesthesia who require precise breathing support.
The canisters may develop unexpected high resistance to gas flow during clinical use, which could prevent proper ventilation of an anesthetized patient. This might delay critical treatment if the patient's breathing becomes inadequate. Not all defective units will be detected by the pre-use test.
Healthcare professionals using the AMSORB PLUS G-CAN 1.0L during anesthesia procedures are most at risk, particularly when the device fails to maintain adequate ventilation for patients.
Check for product codes AMAB3801 or AMAB3801GE on the canister. Affected units were sold with specific production lots listed in the recall notice, including dates from 010321F51 through 310521F511.
Look for product codes AMAB3801 or AMAB3801GE on the canister to determine if it's affected.
Confirm the canister's production lot number matches the list of affected lots provided in the recall notice.

Check for product codes AMAB3801 or AMAB3801GE and verify the production lot number against the list of affected lots provided in the recall notice.
No, but healthcare professionals should check the product code and lot number to confirm if their canister is affected before continuing use.
