April 27, 2009 - Recall on certain post style medical oxygen valves
InterMed Gas Products has issued a recall notice on certain Post-Medical oxygen valves manufactured that could potentially be dangerous. Please read the following notice and the following picture that helps you identify the valves in question.



12/1/08 - Your voice has been heard! We have effectively petitioned the Texas regulators. The rule which required us to track the pedigree of our medical products has been withdrawn. Texas will now go through a formal rules making process. If you would also like to be considered a stakeholder in the new rules making process, please email Susan Tennyson (Susan.Tennyson@dshs.state.tx.us). For additional information, please call GAWDA FDA & Medical Gas Consultant Tom Badstubner at 508-883-0927.
 
GAWDA will continue to monitor this regulation and keep you informed.
