✎ GovInfoNow plain-language explainer

What happened, in plain English

Bard is recalling infant feeding tubes with EN:Fit connectors that may have poorly fused tubing and connector. This could lead to unsafe connections during medical use, especially for neonates and infants.

Why it’s dangerous

The tubing and ENFit connector may not fuse properly, leading to potential disconnections during use. This could cause improper feeding or aspiration of stomach contents, which is especially dangerous for infants.

Who’s affected

Parents and caregivers of neonates and infants using Bard infant feeding tubes with ENFit connectors are most at risk. Healthcare providers who use these tubes for medical feeding may also be affected.

How to tell if you have this one

Check for lot numbers NGARX207 or NGAX3462 on the tube packaging. The product is a single-use sterile feeding tube with ENFit connector for nasogastric feeding.
