✎ GovInfoNow plain-language explainer

What happened, in plain English

Hollister is recalling certain oral endotracheal tube fasteners because they may cause the tube to move in the throat due to reduced skin barrier protection. This could lead to breathing difficulties or other complications for users.

Why it’s dangerous

The fastener may cause the tube to migrate in the throat because it reduces the skin barrier's ability to stay in place. This could lead to breathing problems if the tube shifts position.

Who’s affected

Healthcare professionals using the AnchorFast SlimFit fasteners for endotracheal tubes are most at risk. Patients receiving these tubes during medical procedures may also be affected.

How to tell if you have this one

Check for the product name 'AnchorFast SlimFit', reference number REF 9787, and lot numbers 4L172 or 4L182. The fastener is used in medical settings for oral endotracheal tubes.
