Potential for the Semi-Rigid canister lid to fragment during use.
Medline is recalling two models of 3000cc suction canisters (OR530 and OR530H) because the lid may fragment during use. This could cause injury if the fragment strikes a person or equipment. Owners should check their product details against the listed model and lot numbers.
The canister lid may break into sharp pieces during normal use, potentially causing cuts or injuries to users or nearby equipment. This fragmentation risk is specific to the design of the lid in the recalled models.
Healthcare professionals and medical facilities using the suction canisters are most at risk. Owners of the recalled models should check if their canister has the listed lot numbers.
Check for model numbers OR530 or OR530H on the canister. Lot numbers 20180913-1 through 20180929-1 are associated with the recalled items. The OR530 model comes in a case with two boxes containing liners and lids.
Identify your canister's model number (OR530 or OR530H) and lot number to see if it matches the recalled items.
