Teleflex Medical Recalls Hudson RCI Sheridan/HVT Tracheal Tubes

Plain-English summary

Teleflex Medical is recalling specific lots of Hudson RCI Sheridan/HVT tracheal tubes used for airway management. The recall involves 3,375,808 units distributed nationwide in the United States. The affected products are available in sizes ranging from 5.0 mm to 10.0 mm, with specific reference numbers and batch numbers listed in the official recall notice.

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

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