Event Description

Customer reported the follow to the vyaire sales representative."we were doing an intubation and i couldn't get the mask off once the pt.Was intubated.I broke the resus bag trying to do so and wasn't able to use that particular bag.The doc was not happy!! we had to scramble to get a new bag.And he was cautious with me during other intubations because of it.

Manufacturer Narrative

Follow up submission: no sample was provided for evaluation.At this time we are unable to confirm the reported issue.However, based on similar complaint investigations, a probable root cause is related to the current mirror finish surface on the elbow, which makes the mask very difficult to remove.Capa was opened to further investigate this issue.Capa (b)(4).The elbow will now contain a textured finish to allow the mask to be easily removed from the elbow.
