What happened, in plain English

Avanos is recalling its Cortrak 2 Enteral Access System devices because the Anonymous Account Mode feature must be stopped immediately. This feature could lead to incorrect tube placement if not properly verified with hospital protocols.

Why it’s dangerous

The Anonymous Account Mode feature can prevent healthcare providers from verifying proper tube placement. Without this verification, there's a risk of incorrect tube placement which could cause serious complications like aspiration or infection.

Who’s affected

Healthcare professionals using the Cortrak 2 Enteral Access System devices for enteral feeding. Patients receiving enteral nutrition through these devices are at risk if tube placement is not confirmed correctly.

How to tell if you have this one

Check for the product code 20-0950 or P20-0950 on the device label. The UDI numbers 00350770472010, 00350770472065, 10680651472011, or 10680651472066 indicate recalled units. All serial numbers are affected.
