Microstream CO2 Sampling Line May Not Disconnect From Intubation Tube
Microstream intubated CO2 sampling lines may be difficult or impossible to disconnect from endotracheal tubes. This could delay necessary procedures and cause unintended extubation, potentially leading to respiratory failure.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II medical device recall with documented risk-of-harm potential (respiratory failure, hypoxia, aspiration). However, no illnesses or injuries have been reported. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported score at most 3.
Plain-English summary
This recall affects Microstream Luer Intubated Adult-Pediatric CO2 Sampling Lines (Part Number PT00156355, Revision A, MLAI). These devices measure end-tidal carbon dioxide levels during anesthesia, emergency intubation, and procedural sedation in adult and pediatric patients.
The recalled sampling lines may be difficult or impossible to disconnect from the endotracheal tube adapter. This connection failure could prevent clinicians from accessing the airway for essential procedures such as suctioning, potentially causing treatment delays.
If the adapter cannot be disconnected, an unintended extubation may occur when attempting to remove it. This could result in respiratory failure, hypoxia (low blood oxygen), aspiration, or significant drops in oxygen saturation. Approximately 62,877 units have been distributed worldwide, including across all U.S. states and numerous international locations.
Healthcare facilities and providers should immediately discontinue use of the recalled sampling lines. The affected lot numbers are specified in the FDA recall notice. Contact the manufacturer or consult FDA resources for guidance on device return or replacement.
