Teleflex Medical recalls Hudson RCI Sheridan EZ-ENDO tubes (6.0-8.5mm) due to reported disconnections from endotracheal tubes in rare cases. Affected lots listed in product details.
This voluntary recall is due to reported complaints (<0.0025% of all in scope distributed product) indicating that there is an increased incidence of specific lots of the 15 mm Sheridan connector becoming disconnected from the Endotracheal tube.
Teleflex Medical is recalling specific sizes of Hudson RCI Sheridan EZ-ENDO tubes because some models may disconnect from endotracheal tubes. This could lead to breathing problems during medical procedures if the connection fails.
The tubes have a reported increased incidence of disconnecting from endotracheal tubes in specific lots. This could cause breathing problems during medical procedures if the connection fails, though the rate is very low (<0.0025% of distributed products).
