Anaesthetic Masks

Reason

As a result of reports from the market we have identified a possible variation in the size of the 22F mask taper connection where some masks may be larger than standard limits. This may create a loose or insecure connection with the mating device, and in some circumstances this could result in possible disconnection from the mask taper. We would expect the problem to be identified during set up for use and to date there have been no reports of patient harm.
