Ambu Inc. has recalled 1,824 VivaSight 2 DLT Endobronchial tubes because the tip of the tube (the distal end) may be bent too sharply, a condition known as hyper angulation. This defect can make the intubation process difficult and poses a significant risk of injuring the patient's airway during medical procedures. The recall affects four different sizes (35 Fr, 37 Fr, 39 Fr, and 41 Fr) distributed across the United States and Canada.
If the tube is bent at an excessive angle, it can cause physical trauma or airway injury as it is inserted into the patient. Ambu has received reports of hyper angulation complaints, though no specific injury counts were detailed in the current data.
