Description

REF 8229705 x1 NIM TriVantage EMG Endotracheal Tube 5.0 mm I.D. x 6.5 mm O.D.

Reason

In March 2013, Medtronic issued a recall of the NIM TriVantage EMG Endotracheal Tube due to cuff leakage in the intraoperative cuff deflation which then requires re-inflation or replacement of the deflated tube in order to ensure the continued ventilation of the patient.
