This is a follow up to a previously reported issue.Earlier this summer, it was noted during a c section case that the tip of the yankauer suction from the kit was broken off.Since that time, there have been an additional 5 yankauer suction from c/s kits that have had the tips broken.Of these 5, only 1 was used on a patient (unknown).4 were discovered during set up and the last was not noted until it had been used on a patient.All involved devices have been from same lot #.To date, there have been no known injuries as a result of these broken devices.The manufacturer is aware and is actively investigating the issue.
