Washington -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the recall of certain Unomedical Inc. single-patient use manual pulmonary resuscitators.

The McAllen, Texas, company said its voluntary worldwide recall only impacts MPRs manufactured between July 2002 and March 2008.

The company said the recall is being conducted because of a potential malfunction that might impair the ability of the device to function properly.

Officials said the occurrence of such a malfunction might create a situation in which the use of the product could potentially cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

The recall does not involve MPRs manufactured after March 2008, the company said.
