Teleflex recalls specific endotracheal tube models due to reported disconnection risks. Affected products may disconnect at the 15mm connector, requiring immediate action to prevent injury.
Reports of disconnection of the 15mm connector from the endotracheal tube (ET tube) for the affected products.
Teleflex is recalling certain endotracheal tubes because they have reported disconnections at the 15mm connector. This could lead to breathing issues if the tube becomes disconnected during medical procedures.
The 15mm connector on the endotracheal tube can disconnect during use, potentially causing the tube to become dislodged from the patient's airway. This could lead to breathing difficulties or other complications if the tube is no longer properly connected.
Healthcare professionals using these tubes during medical procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving intubation with the affected models could experience breathing difficulties if the tube disconnects.
Check for the model name 'Endotracheal Tube oral/nasal Magill, High Volume, Low Pressure Cuff' and the specific batch numbers listed in the recall notice. The product has a unique identifier (UDI/DI) of 14026704341266.
Identify the batch numbers and unique identifier (UDI/DI) on the tube to confirm if it is affected.
