Teleflex recalls specific endotracheal tubes due to reports of 15mm connector disconnection. Affected models include batch numbers 18FG02 through KME22F1739. Consumers should check product labels for these identifiers.
Reports of disconnection of the 15mm connector from the endotracheal tube (ET tube) for the affected products.
Teleflex is recalling certain endotracheal tubes because reports indicate the 15mm connector may disconnect from the tube. This could lead to breathing issues during medical procedures if the tube becomes disconnected.
The 15mm connector on the affected tubes can become disconnected during use, potentially causing breathing difficulties. This disconnection could occur during medical procedures if the tube is not properly secured.
Healthcare professionals and medical facilities using the recalled endotracheal tubes are most at risk. Patients receiving these tubes during procedures may face breathing complications if the connector disconnects.
