Why was it recalled?

There have been reports of air and medication leakage from the nebulizer cup during therapy of Volara system patient circuits. The leakage can lead to an oxygen level drop in the patient and ineffective nebulization, which may affect the delivery of the prescribed treatment. The issue has been associated with improper locking of the nebulizer cup after adding medication during user setup.
