Plain-English summary
Teleflex LLC is recalling Preformed AGT Oral Endotracheal Tubes (Model REF 111780045, UDI 14026704341051) due to reports of disconnection of the 15mm connector from the tube. The affected tubes feature a Murphy eye, high-volume, low-pressure cuff design.
Disconnection of the 15mm connector could prevent the endotracheal tube from functioning properly. These tubes are used to maintain an open airway and deliver oxygen during anesthesia and mechanical ventilation. If the connector disconnects during use, it could compromise the patient's ability to breathe and receive oxygen.
The recall affects 23,395 units distributed nationwide, including Puerto Rico. Affected units can be identified by batch numbers and the UDI/DI code 14026704341051 as listed in the official FDA recall notice.
