Reason for Recall
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.
