“DeRoyal Enteral Feeding Tubes Recall: Connector Detachment Risk.” GovInfoNow, updated August 19, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/67374-deroyal-enteral-feeding-tubes-recall-connector-detachment-risk. Based on FDA recall #Z-2293-2019 (https://api.fda.gov/device/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22Z-2293-2019%22&limit=1).
Why it’s dangerous
The connector can detach from the feeding tube during use, potentially causing the tube to become dislodged. This could lead to the tube being pulled out of the body or causing injury to the patient. The risk is higher for patients who require ongoing tube feeding.
Who’s affected
Patients using enteral feeding tubes and caregivers who own the recalled models. Those most at risk are individuals with medical conditions requiring tube feeding who may experience injury if the tube detaches.
How to tell if you have this one
Check for the model numbers REF 54-2450R, 54-2465R, 54-2480R, or 54-3680R on the tube packaging. The specific lot numbers listed in the recall notice (e.g., 142844, 142843) also indicate affected units.
