Bunnell recalls 2.5mm LifePort Endotracheal Tube Adapters due to improper packaging that may cause tip deformation, potentially impairing suction catheter passage or ventilator performance.
Some adaptors, for use with high frequency ventilators, were packaged improperly, and may deform at the tip, which may impair the ability to pass a suction catheter or may affect normal ventilator performance, which may lead to hypercarbia, hypoxia, and gas trapping.
Bunnell is recalling 2.5 mm LifePort Endotracheal Tube Adapters that may deform at the tip due to improper packaging. This could impair suction catheter passage or affect ventilator performance, leading to hypercarbia, hypoxia, or gas trapping.
Improper packaging can cause the adapter tip to deform. This may prevent suction catheters from passing through properly or disrupt ventilator function, potentially causing hypercarbia (high carbon dioxide levels), hypoxia (low oxygen levels), or gas trapping.
Healthcare professionals using ventilators with these adapters are most at risk. Patients on mechanical ventilation may experience complications if the adapters deform.
Check for the catalog number 9025 or 938 on the packaging. These adapters were sold with lot numbers including 22042320, 22052381, and other specific dates.
