Neurovision recalls Cobra x5 2-Ch EMG tubes with soft insulation that may stop signal transmission. 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 Cobra x5 EMG tubes that may lose signal transmission due to softening insulation. This could lead to inaccurate nerve monitoring during surgery. Patients using these tubes should check their serial numbers and contact the manufacturer.
