Reports of disconnection of the 15mm connector from the endotracheal tube (ET tube) for the affected products.
Teleflex is recalling certain Flexi-Set Cuffed Endotracheal Tubes and Stylet Sets due to reports of the 15mm connector disconnecting from the tube. This could lead to breathing difficulties during medical procedures if the tube becomes disconnected.
The 15mm connector on the endotracheal tube can become disconnected during use, potentially causing breathing difficulties. This disconnection may occur during medical procedures when the tube is being handled or moved.
Healthcare professionals using these tubes during medical procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving these tubes during surgery or critical care may experience breathing issues if the connector disconnects.
