Armstrong Medical has recalled its Amsorb Plus Prefilled G-Can 1.0L due to reports that some canisters have difficulties with gas flow that may cause a reduced flow of air to the patient. A [recall notice ](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls/armstrong-medical-limited-recalls-amsorb-plus-prefilled-g-can-10l-due-reduced-gas-flow-patients?ref=fdaweb.com)says the difficulties in flow may cause a failure in the pre-use or “check-out” test on the anesthesia machine. It may also occur when a patient is already under anesthesia if an affected canister is attached to the anesthesia machine while a patient is already under. “If the flow issue is not addressed, this may prevent the ventilator from providing enough breathing assistance to the patient (hypoventilation), leading to a build-up of carbon dioxide in the patient’s body and causing negative health effects,” the notice says.
