Manufacturer Reason for Recall | In some Manual Pulmonary Resuscitator units the duckbill valve and retention ring inside the patient valve housing may become dislodged and fall into the MPR bag/body. If this occurs, the MPR may lose its ability to generate the positive pressure necessary necessary to ventilate the patient. |

Action | Unomedical issued Press on October 6, 2009. Letters were sent to customers on October 7, 2009 via UPS - return receipt. Letters explained the reason for recall and the potential hazard to patients. The letter contains a list of all affected lot numbers as well as a picture which shows that units with a clearly visible blue ring are NOT affected. Distributors are asked to examine inventory and quarantine all affected product and return the response form, even if no recalled product is in inventory. If the product was further distributed, the letter requests that a copy of the letter be sent to all customers and for returns, follow Distributor actions listed in the letter. Retailers and end users/Hospitals/EMT's are asked to perform a count of recalled product, segregate it and return the response form.
