Inspection of current stock of the lot number in question did not identify any issues however investigation into additional lots manufactured with the same subassembly resulted in identification of occluded CO2 sampling lines.  Subsequently all stock of various product stock keeping units (SKUs) manufactured with a CO2 sampling line were placed on hold for further inspection.
