Reports of disconnection of the 15mm connector from the endotracheal tube (ET tube) for the affected products.
Teleflex is recalling certain Preformed AGT Oral Endotracheal Tubes because reports indicate the 15mm connector can disconnect from the tube. This could lead to breathing difficulties during medical procedures if the tube becomes disconnected.
