Teleflex recalls specific endotracheal tubes due to potential pilot balloon non-inflation or cuff non-deflation during intubation procedures.
Potential for pilot balloon non-inflation or cuff non-deflation.
Teleflex is recalling certain endotracheal tubes that may not inflate the pilot balloon or deflate the cuff properly, which could lead to improper airway management during medical procedures. This is a serious hazard for patients requiring intubation.
The tubes may fail to properly inflate the pilot balloon or deflate the cuff during use, which could cause improper airway management and lead to complications like airway obstruction or inadequate ventilation during medical procedures.

Check for the product codes and batch numbers listed in the recall notice. The affected tubes include Flexi-Set Cuffed Endotracheal Tubes and Stylet Sets, Murphy Eye tubes, and RUSCHELIT Super Safety Clear Tracheal Tubes with specific product codes and batch numbers.
