Teleflex Medical recalls specific sizes of Sheridan EZ-ENDO connectors due to reported disconnections from breathing tubes, potentially causing insufficient oxygenation and requiring medical intervention.
Reported complaints indicate an increased incidence of specific lots of the 15 mm Sheridan connector becoming disconnected from the endotracheal tube (ETT). Disconnection from the breathing circuit may result in insufficient oxygenation, requiring medical intervention.
Teleflex Medical is recalling certain sizes of Sheridan EZ-ENDO connectors that may disconnect from breathing tubes, leading to insufficient oxygenation and needing medical help. This affects medical devices used in airway management.
The connectors may become disconnected from the endotracheal tube during use. This disconnection can interrupt the oxygen supply, leading to insufficient oxygenation and requiring medical intervention to address breathing problems.
Healthcare professionals using these connectors for airway management are most at risk. Patients receiving oxygen therapy through these devices could experience breathing difficulties if the connector disconnects.
Check for the specific sizes: 5.0 mm (REF 5-22510), 5.5 mm (REF 5-22511), 7.0 mm (REF 5-22514), or 7.5 mm (REF 5-22515). The batch numbers listed in the recall notice indicate which units are affected.
Inspect the connector for signs of disconnection from the endotracheal tube during use.
