Plain-English summary
The FDA is recalling six units of the Sevoflurane Vaporizer, Quik-Fil (Model 6682285), a component of anesthesia delivery systems. The affected units are identified by serial numbers 3761, 7635, 7633, 7630, 7632, and 7631 and were distributed to healthcare facilities in Kentucky and Connecticut.

Sevoflurane used with this vaporizer may degrade into hydrogen fluoride, which can be inhaled or absorbed through skin contact. This presents a potential risk to patients undergoing anesthesia and to healthcare providers in the operating room.
Exposure to hydrogen fluoride may cause irritation of the respiratory tract, which in worst-case scenarios may lead to lung edema and severe hypocalcemia. Skin contact may result in blistering, superficial ulceration, and hypomagnesemia.
