NutraGlide Nasal Feeding Tubes recalled due to distal tip detachment risk

Plain-English summary

Applied Medical Technology Inc is recalling 840 units of NutraGlide Nasal Feeding Tubes with Stylet and ENFit (5 F - 8 F x 55, REF E NRT-06055-I). The nasal feeding tubes are devices placed through the nose and ending in the stomach or intestine, used for administering nutrition, fluids, and medications in neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients.

The recall was initiated because the distal tips of the feeding tubes may detach at lower than expected forces. This defect could prevent proper delivery of nutrition and medications to patients who depend on these devices.

The affected units were distributed to hospitals and medical facilities in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Specific lot codes are identified by UDI (Unique Device Identifier) numbers on the packaging. Healthcare providers and patients should check whether their supplies match the recalled lot numbers provided in the recall notice.

Healthcare providers should contact Applied Medical Technology Inc for replacement units or further guidance. Patients and caregivers using this product should consult their healthcare provider about next steps.
