Why Was This Recalled?

This voluntary recall is being conducted due to incorrect packaging. In one lot of Salem Sump Dual Lumen Stomach Tubes the 10Fr product was packaged in a 16Fr pouch. The use of a 10 Fr Salem Sump Tube when a 16Fr is needed could result in decreased fluid collection, with the potential to affect patient care, particularly in an emergency situation where the correct size is not readily available.

Where Was This Sold?

This product was distributed nationwide across all 50 states.
