Draeger has recalled (Class 1) its Flex 220 ID breathing circuit due to the risk of cracks forming in the breathing circuit hose. The device is intended for “conveying breathing gases between an anesthesia machine or ventilator and an adult patient,” according to a [recall notice](https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfres/res.cfm?id=212591&ref=fdaweb.com). Notification letters were sent to users last month advising them to perform leak testing after stretching the flexible hose, among other measures, it says.
