Teleflex Inc. Recalls Hudson RCI Sheridan Endotracheal Tubes

June 26, 2019 — Teleflex Inc. has issued a Class 1 recall for certain Hudson RCI® Sheridan® Endotracheal Tubes.

At least 4 patients died and other patients suffered serious injuries when a connector disconnected from the endotracheal tube, resulting in loss of oxygenation and the need for emergency medical intervention.

The recall involves specific lots of the 15-mm Sheridan connector that were distributed from October 2016 to May 2019.

Use of the device poses a risk of severe injury or death:

“The immediate consequence for patients is disconnection from the breathing circuit, which may result in insufficient oxygenation, requiring medical intervention.”

The recall has been designated as a Class 1 recall by the FDA. This is the most serious type of recall, reserved for situations when using the recalled device poses a reasonable risk of causing injury or death to a patient.
