Teleflex recalls preformed AGT oral endotracheal tubes because the 15mm connector may disconnect from the tube, posing risk during patient use.

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: FDA Class I designation indicates potential for serious adverse health consequences. Though no deaths or serious injuries are reported, the documented connector failure risk in a critical airway device warrants a Severe rating.
