Neurovision recalls Cobra x5 2-Ch EMG ET tubes with soft insulation that may stop signal transmission during nerve monitoring. Affected units have specific serial numbers and are used for surgical airway monitoring.
The electrode insulating material on the Cobra EMG ET tube used for continuous EMG monitoring may soften over time so that it may be more susceptible to damage by scratching or bending, which could stop or inhibit the EMG signal transmission of the electrodes to the monitor and render the device not usable.
Neurovision is recalling Cobra x5 EMG tubes that may lose signal transmission due to softening insulation. This could cause inaccurate nerve monitoring during surgery, especially for airway management.
The tube's insulation softens over time, making it prone to damage from bending or scratching. This can interrupt the electrical signals needed for nerve monitoring, potentially leading to inaccurate assessments during surgery.
Healthcare professionals using these tubes for surgical nerve monitoring are most at risk. Patients undergoing procedures requiring airway management may be affected if the tubes are used.
Check for the serial numbers listed in the recall: B006LTE700DCM52 and kit lots like 021919D, 022019B, etc. These tubes are used for continuous nerve monitoring during surgery.
Look for the serial number B006LTE700DCM52 on the tube packaging or label.
Confirm the kit lot number matches the list of affected lots provided in the recall notice.
The electrode insulation may soften over time, causing signal transmission issues during nerve monitoring.
Damaged tubes may stop transmitting nerve signals, leading to inaccurate monitoring during surgery.
The recall is for medical use during surgery; patients are not directly at risk unless the tube is used improperly.
