On November 1, 2024, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued an alert that Percussionaire was voluntarily recalling 43,630 units of its Phasitron 5 breathing circuits. The federal agency classified the recall as its most serious type of recall.
The medical device recall stemmed from the unexpected discovery of a nickel coating on one part of the circuit. This coating can react with certain saline solutions mixed with albuterol or N-acetylcysteine. When this happens, it can cause discoloration and may release nickel particles into the air. This could expose patients to higher nickel levels than expected during regular use.
In response, Percussionaire issued a recall for affected units, recognizing that continued use could cause life-threatening complications. The recalled part lot numbers include:
