Teleflex Recalls Hudson RCI Sheridan Uncuffed Tracheal Tubes

Plain-English summary

Teleflex Medical is recalling 170,740 units of Hudson RCI Sheridan Uncuffed tracheal tubes, which are used for tracheal tube and airway management. The recall covers 11 specific sizes ranging from 2.0 mm to 7.0 mm, identified by reference numbers 5-10404 through 5-10414. The affected products were distributed nationwide in the United States.

The recall was initiated due to reported complaints indicating an increased incidence of specific lots of the 15 mm Sheridan connector becoming disconnected from the endotracheal tube. This disconnection from the breathing circuit may result in insufficient oxygenation, which could require medical intervention.

Healthcare facilities and users should check their inventory for the specific reference numbers and batch numbers listed in the official recall notice. If the product is found, it should be removed from service and returned to Teleflex Medical or the distributor in accordance with the recall instructions.
