What happened, in plain English

Hollister is recalling certain AnchorFast Guard Select oral endotracheal tube fasteners because they may cause decreased skin barrier wear time, which could lead to tube migration. This recall affects specific lot numbers and is important for medical users to prevent complications.

Why it’s dangerous

The fastener may cause the skin barrier to wear down more quickly than normal, which could lead to the endotracheal tube moving within the patient's throat. This is a risk during medical procedures where the tube must stay securely in place.

Who’s affected

Healthcare professionals using the AnchorFast Guard Select fasteners with lot numbers 4J162, 4J172, 4J182, 4L172, or 4L182 are most at risk. Patients receiving these fasteners may experience tube migration if the skin barrier wears down faster than expected.

How to tell if you have this one

Check the lot numbers on the product: 4J162, 4J172, 4J182, 4L172, or 4L182. The product is an AnchorFast Guard Select oral endotracheal tube fastener with UDI/DI 00610075095810.
