Are there recalls in BTM?

openFDA lists 97 recall records against product code BTM. A recall record covers one firm's corrective action and may span many device lots.

  • Z-2357-2026Open, ClassifiedDatex-Ohmeda, Inc.

    Blender knob shaft can loosen, which can affect the delivered oxygen concentration. The system can deliver an oxygen concentration that does not match the intended concentration set by the user, potentially resulting in hypoxia or hyperoxia in the patient.

  • Z-2181-2025Open, ClassifiedAmbu Inc.

    Potential for the manometer port being blocked rendering the manometer non-functional.

  • Z-1814-2025Open, ClassifiedSunMed Holdings, LLC

    Affected lots were manufactured with B/V Filter incorrectly attached to the wrong port (patient port instead of the exhalation port). If not noticed prior to patient use, there would be interruption or delay in patient resuscitation, which may lead to life threatening consequences, including hypoxia, hypercapnia, organ failure, and death.

  • Z-1057-2024Open, ClassifiedVyaire Medical, Inc.

    Risk of hypoventilation caused by duckbill and ring broken/disassembled, due to faulty mold/tooling producing out of specification components. Device failure may cause improper ventilation or no ventilation that may result in hypoventilation or hypoxia, and potentially lead to death. The mold/tooling used to produce the affected component was replaced in 2017.

  • Z-1058-2024Open, ClassifiedVyaire Medical, Inc.

    Risk of hypoventilation caused by duckbill and ring broken/disassembled, due to faulty mold/tooling producing out of specification components. Device failure may cause improper ventilation or no ventilation that may result in hypoventilation or hypoxia, and potentially lead to death. The mold/tooling used to produce the affected component was replaced in 2017.

Showing the 5 most recently initiated of 97. Recall class comes from openFDA's enforcement endpoint, which does not carry every recall — where it is missing, none is shown rather than guessed. Status is FDA's own wording; a terminated recall is a closed one, and the total spans the code's whole history, not just what is open today.

How many adverse events are reported for BTM?

MAUDE holds 109 adverse-event reports naming product code BTM, 30 of them received in the last 12 months.

MAUDE reports are submitted by manufacturers, importers, user facilities and the public. They are unverified, and a report is not proof that the device caused the event.

Is adverse-event reporting in BTM unusual?

BTM does not yet have twelve months of adverse-event history in our data, so there is no expected range to compare against. That is a gap in what we hold, not a statement about the device.

Monthly adverse-event reports naming BTM, against the expected range computed from this code's own history. Shaded band is the expected range; a bar above it is the month flagged. Retrieved 11 August 2026.

31 months do not have a full, unbroken year of history before them, so no expected range is shown for those. Insufficient history is reported as insufficient rather than as zero: an empty baseline would turn a gap in our data into a spike.

What are the predicate devices in BTM?

FDA publishes no machine-readable predicate field, so no predicate chain is recorded for this code yet.

A predicate chain matters because a device inherits the safety history of what it was compared to. FDA publishes the chain only inside each 510(k) summary PDF, never as data — so where we have edges, they are read from those documents, and where we do not, we say so instead of showing an empty list.

The same makers, after name resolution

One company in BTM files under more than one spelling. Resolving them to one identity — across all six datasets, not just this one — is what makes a joined count possible at all.
