Teleflex recalls specific models of oral endotracheal tubes due to reports of 15mm connector disconnection. Affected units have batch numbers listed in the recall notice.
Reports of disconnection of the 15mm connector from the endotracheal tube (ET tube) for the affected products.
Teleflex is recalling certain oral endotracheal tubes because reports indicate the 15mm connector may disconnect from the tube. This could lead to breathing difficulties during medical procedures if the tube becomes disconnected.
The 15mm connector on the affected tubes may become disconnected during use. This disconnection could cause the tube to become unplugged from the patient's airway, potentially leading to breathing difficulties or the need for immediate reconnection.
Healthcare professionals using the affected endotracheal tubes are most at risk. Patients receiving these tubes during medical procedures could experience breathing issues if the connector disconnects.
