The Abu Dhabi health department has issued a notice to all healthcare providers for recall of Aquilon series of nebulisers.

Aquilon nebulisers manufactured by AFP Medical, including the Aquilon2, Aquilon + and Aquilon pro series, have been banned following directives of UK's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, reported Al Bayan.

The department noted that the CE mark for these nebulisers has been withdrawn because they were manufactured without the prescribed criteria, which could make them unsafe.

The department urged all healthcare facilities in Abu Dhabi to check their stocks for all affected devices and inform them about it. Healthcare providers should discontinue the use of these nebulisers and dispose them of.
