Plain-English summary
Teleflex LLC is recalling 18,620 endotracheal tubes (REF 112082095) designed for oral and nasal intubation. These single-use tubes feature Murphy eyes for improved visualization and use high-volume, low-pressure cuffs.
The recall was initiated due to reports of disconnection of the 15mm connector from the endotracheal tube. This connector attaches the tube to ventilation equipment. A disconnection could result in separation of the airway connection, preventing proper ventilation.
The affected products were distributed nationwide throughout the United States, including Puerto Rico. The recall is identified by UDI/DI code 14026704341471. Specific affected batches are identified by lot numbers including 18HG08, 18HT04, 18IG29, and additional batches listed by Teleflex.
