What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class I recall of a critical airway management device. Although no deaths or injuries have been reported to date, the potential for connector disconnection during airway management constitutes a serious hazard warranting the Class I designation.
Plain-English summary
Teleflex LLC is recalling 19,250 endotracheal tubes with model reference 112082100 (oral/nasal, with Murphy eye, high-volume, low-pressure cuff). The recall covers units distributed nationwide, including Puerto Rico, with UDI/DI 14026704341488.
The recalled tubes may experience disconnection of the 15mm connector during use. This connector links the tube to ventilation equipment, and disconnection could prevent proper air delivery and compromise patient airway management.
Healthcare facilities and clinicians should identify whether they have affected units by checking the batch numbers provided in the FDA recall notice. Facilities should consider alternative products or take precautions to verify connector integrity before clinical use.
