Neurovision recalls Cobra x5 EMG tubes due to potential signal failure from softened insulation. Affected units may stop transmitting nerve signals during surgery. Contact for replacement.
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 develop softened insulation over time, causing signal transmission failures during nerve monitoring. This could lead to inaccurate surgical assessments or ventilation issues if the tube stops working.
The tube's electrode insulation softens over time, making it prone to damage from bending or scratching. This can interrupt the signal transmission to the monitor, potentially causing inaccurate nerve monitoring during surgery.
Healthcare professionals using the Cobra x5 EMG tubes for nerve monitoring during surgery are most at risk. Patients undergoing procedures requiring this monitoring could be affected if the tube fails.
Check for the model number LTE700S-5, sterile EO UDI code B006:TE700S52$$7050918B, and kit lots 073119A, 082019B, 022820A, 041620C, or 062520A. The product is used for continuous EMG monitoring during surgery.
Verify the model number, UDI code, and kit lot numbers listed in the recall notice.
