Plain-English summary
C.R. Bard, Inc. is recalling 3,200 units of Bard Adult/Pediatric Feeding Tubes with ENFit connectors. The recall covers specific lot numbers: NGAY4533, NGAX3534, and NGARX206. These products were distributed nationwide in the United States.
The recall was initiated because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration identified that the product code and lot number combination may have ineffectively fused tubing and ENFit connector. The ENFit connector is designed to reduce the risk of enteral device misconnections by only allowing connectivity with compatible enteral devices.
These feeding tubes are intended for the decompression of the stomach and the short-term administration of tube feeding, lavage fluid, and medications for neonates, infants, and adults. The source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses associated with this defect. Consumers and healthcare providers should check their inventory for the affected lot numbers and contact C.R. Bard for further instructions.
