Neurovision recalls Cobra x5 1-Ch EMG ET tubes with soft insulation that may stop signal transmission. Affected units have specific lot numbers and were sold for nerve monitoring during surgery.
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 if the insulation softens over time. This could prevent proper nerve monitoring during surgery, risking inadequate airway management.
The tube's electrode insulation softens over time, making it prone to damage from scratching or bending. This can stop the EMG signal from reaching the monitor, potentially causing inadequate nerve monitoring during surgery.
Healthcare professionals using these tubes for nerve monitoring during surgery are most at risk. Patients undergoing procedures requiring this specific tube are also affected.
Check for the lot numbers listed: 012320C, 012720C, 012820B, 012920C, 013020C, 020720D, 021020D, 021320E, 021420B, 021420D, 021820B, 031220A, 031620C, 041620A, 052120C, 060820F, 061120B, 072919B, 073019A, 073119B, 010820E, 090419A, 112619A. These tubes are used for continuous nerve monitoring during surgery.
Look for the specific lot numbers listed in the recall notice to confirm if your tube is affected.
Ensure the tube is used for continuous EMG monitoring during surgical procedures, as this is the intended use for the recalled product.
The electrode insulation may soften over time, causing the tube to stop transmitting EMG signals if scratched or bent.
The device may not transmit EMG signals properly, which could lead to inadequate nerve monitoring during surgery.
