Neomed recalls enteral feeding tubes with enteral only connectors (French sizes 4.0Fr-8.0Fr) due to potential for tethered plug to open after closure. Affected units include specific model numbers and production dates.
Potential for the tethered plug on the hub of the NeoMed Enteral Feeding Tubes with Enteral Only Connectors to inadvertently open after closure.
Neomed is recalling enteral feeding tubes with enteral only connectors (French sizes 4.0Fr to 8.0Fr) because the tethered plug on the hub might open accidentally after being closed. This could lead to improper feeding or tube dislodgement in neonatal and pediatric patients.
The tethered plug on the hub of the feeding tube can inadvertently open after being closed. This might cause the tube to disconnect during use, potentially leading to improper feeding or tube dislodgement in infants and young children.
Neonatal and pediatric patients using these feeding tubes are most at risk. Parents and caregivers of infants and children under 30 days old should check if their tubes are affected.
Check for model numbers starting with FTS, FTM, or FTL followed by a size (e.g., 5.0P EO) and specific production dates listed in the recall notice. The tubes come in French sizes 4.0Fr through 8.0Fr and lengths 40cm, 60cm, or 90cm.
Look for model numbers like FTS5.0P EO or FTL6.5P EO on the tube packaging or label.
Reach out to Neomed Inc for specific guidance on whether your tube is affected and if a replacement is needed.
