REASON:

High-flow disposable sets for the Ranger blood/fluid warming system may have been assembled with an inverted bubble trap. An inverted bubble trap on a Ranger high flow system may allow air to pass through the bubble trap and bypass the trap’s auto-venting mechanism, potentially permitting air to reach the patient. Consignees have been asked to contact the recalling firm to arrange for replacement product.
