Sarnova HC, Llc has recalled approximately 1,090 Curaplex Nasal Intubation Kits because the included endotracheal tube holder is not compatible with nasal intubation procedures. This defect means that in an emergency medical situation, practitioners may be unable to properly secure the breathing tube once it is inserted. These kits were distributed nationwide across the United States and were designed for emergency airway management.
The incompatible tube holder prevents medical staff from securing the endotracheal tube after a nasal intubation, which could lead to the tube becoming displaced or failing to provide a stable airway during a life-threatening emergency. No injuries have been reported to date.
