Teleflex recalls specific models of Preformed AGT Oral Endotracheal Tubes due to reports of 15mm connector disconnection. Affected units have batch numbers listed in the recall notice. Consumers should check their product details to determine if they are affected.
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 issues during medical procedures if the tube becomes disconnected.
The 15mm connector on the affected tubes can become disconnected during use, potentially causing the tube to become dislodged from the patient's airway. This could lead to breathing difficulties or the need for emergency repositioning of the tube.
Healthcare professionals and medical facilities using the recalled endotracheal tubes are most at risk. Patients receiving these tubes during procedures may experience breathing difficulties if the connector disconnects.
Check for the product name 'Preformed AGT Oral Endotracheal Tube Murphy Eye, High Volume, Low Pressure Cuff' with the specific batch numbers listed in the recall notice. The recall includes a range of batch numbers starting with '18FG31' through 'KME22F2206'.
