RUSCH Endotracheal Tubes with specific reference numbers may have a cuff that inflates while the pilot balloon remains flat. This could cause airway issues during medical procedures. Affected units include models 112080050-112080100 with listed lot numbers.
The firm received reports that the endotracheal tube cuff could be inflated while the pilot balloon remained flat.
Teleflex Medical Europe Ltd recalls specific RUSCH endotracheal tubes due to a risk that the cuff could inflate while the pilot balloon stays flat. This may cause airway problems during medical procedures if the tube is used improperly.
The endotracheal tube cuff may inflate while the pilot balloon remains flat. This can cause the tube to become too tight, potentially blocking the airway and leading to breathing difficulties during medical procedures.
Healthcare professionals using the recalled tubes for medical procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving these tubes during surgery or critical care could experience breathing difficulties.
Check the reference numbers on the tube: 112080050 through 112080100. Also look for the specific lot numbers listed in the recall notice for each reference number.
Identify the reference number on the tube (e.g., 112080050) to see if it is in the list of recalled models.
