Bard recalls 12Fr 48-inch nasogastric tubes with ENFit connectors due to reported inadequate suction. Affected units have specific serial numbers and lot codes.
BD (C.R. Bard) has received user complaints reporting that during use of BD Bard NG Sump Tubes with ENFit Connectors, inadequate or reduced suction, decompression, and drainage occurred.
Bard is recalling certain nasogastric tubes that may not drain properly during use. This could lead to complications like fluid buildup or infection if the tube isn't working correctly.
The tubes may not create enough suction to properly drain stomach contents. This can cause fluid buildup, infection, or other complications if the tube becomes blocked or malfunctions.
Patients using medical nasogastric tubes for feeding or drainage are most at risk. Healthcare providers who use these tubes in medical settings may also be affected.
Check for the model number EN0056120, serial numbers NGDU4228 or NGGR2707, and the 12Fr, 48-inch length with ENFit connectors.
Look for the serial numbers NGDU4228 or NGGR2707 on the tube packaging or label.
If you have the affected tubes, contact Bard directly to arrange a replacement or repair.
