Potential for pilot balloon non-inflation or cuff non-deflation.
Teleflex is recalling certain batches of Slick Set cuffed endotracheal tubes and stylet sets for oral/nasal use. This recall is due to a risk that the pilot balloon might not inflate properly or the cuff might not deflate as needed during intubation, which could lead to complications for patients.
The pilot balloon may not inflate properly, which could cause the tube to become dislodged or cause injury. The cuff might not deflate correctly, potentially leading to airway obstruction or damage to the patient's throat.
