It is classified under Moderate severity (Class II), with a current status of Ongoing. Philips North America Llc is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Cambridge, MA. Federal records indicate 486,631 units units are affected, a scale large enough to require multi-state distribution tracking.

The documented reason for this recall is: Disconnection of the adapter from the endotracheal tube can potentially be difficult or not possible. Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: Worldwide distribution - US Nationwide and the countries of AE, AL, AO, AR, AT, AU, AW, BD, BE, BG, BH, BO, BR, BW, BY, CA, CD, CH, CI, CL, CN, CO, CR, CY, CZ, DE, DK, DO, DZ, EC, EE, EG, ES, ET, FI, FJ, FO, FR, GA, GB,…. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.

To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 6 were also issued by FDA Devices. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 1 year old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.
