Portex Endotracheal Tubes Recalled for Inadequate Ventilation Risk

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Smiths Medical ASD, Inc. has recalled Portex Endotracheal Tubes because the devices may have a smaller diameter than specified. This manufacturing defect can lead to inadequate ventilation, potentially causing patients to experience hypoxia (low oxygen), receiving incorrect medication doses, or suffering cardiopulmonary collapse. These tubes are primarily used in hospitals and healthcare facilities for maintaining a patient's airway during surgery or critical care.

Risk

The reduced inner diameter of the endotracheal tube restricts airflow, which may prevent a patient from receiving sufficient oxygen or breathing support. This can lead to serious life-threatening events including heart or lung failure, especially in patients who are critically ill or under anesthesia.

What You Should Do

  1. This recall affects Portex Endotracheal Tubes sold under item codes 100/105, 100/111, 100/126, 100/127, and 100/141.
  2. Check the device packaging or hospital inventory records for specific item codes, lot numbers, and UDI-DI identifiers to determine if your supply is affected. See the Affected Products section below for the full list of affected codes.
  3. Stop using the recalled device immediately to prevent patient harm.
  4. Contact Smiths Medical ASD, Inc. or your clinical supply distributor to arrange for the return, replacement, or correction of the affected medical devices.
  5. For further information or technical questions, contact Smiths Medical ASD, Inc. customer service directly.
  6. Call the FDA: 1-888-463-6332 (1-888-INFO-FDA) for additional assistance or to report any adverse events related to these devices.
