Neurovision recalls Cobra x5 2-Ch EMG ET tubes due to potential electrode insulation softening, which may cause signal transmission failure. Affected units have specific serial 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 its Cobra x5 2-Ch EMG ET tubes because the electrode insulation may soften over time, causing signal transmission failures. This could lead to inaccurate nerve monitoring during surgery, potentially affecting patient safety.
The electrode insulation in the tube may soften over time, making it more prone to damage from scratching or bending. This could stop or block the EMG signal transmission to the monitor, leading to inaccurate nerve monitoring during surgery.
Healthcare professionals using the Cobra x5 tubes for nerve monitoring during surgery are most at risk. Patients undergoing procedures requiring this specific tube may also be affected.
