Teleflex Medical recalls specific Sheridan/HVT Novaplus 15mm connectors (7.0-8.5mm) due to reported disconnections that could cause oxygen shortage 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 Sheridan/HVT Novaplus airway connectors that may disconnect from breathing tubes. This disconnection could lead to insufficient oxygenation, requiring medical attention.
The recalled connectors have been reported to become disconnected from endotracheal tubes. When disconnected, the breathing circuit may not deliver enough oxygen, potentially requiring medical intervention.
Healthcare professionals using these connectors for tracheal tube management are most at risk. Patients receiving care with affected connectors may experience oxygen shortages.
Check for the specific sizes: 7.0 mm, 7.5 mm, 8.0 mm, or 8.5 mm. Look for the reference codes V5-10314 through V5-10317 and the listed batch numbers in the recall notice.
