It was determined that the Endotracheal Tube Holder included in certain kits is not compatible with a cricothyrotomy procedure, leaving practitioners without the necessary means to secure the inserted endotracheal tube.
Sarnova is recalling Curaplex Cricothyrotomy Field Kits with a specific model that has an incompatible Endotracheal Tube Holder. This could leave healthcare professionals unable to secure the tube during an emergency cricothyrotomy procedure.
