The luer-port in the expiratory elbow may be occluded, which interferes with a ventilator's ability to detect an accurate pressure reading.
Teleflex Medical sent Urgent Medical Device Recall letters dated 3/23/07 via UPS 2nd Day Air to the direct accounts, informing them that the luer-port in the expiratory elbow may be occluded, which interferes with a ventilator's ability to detect an accurate pressure reading. The accounts were requested to cease use of the affected units, remove them from use/stock, quarantine and destroy them. If the accounts further distributed the product, they were requested to conduct a sub-recall of the affected units from their customers. The accounts were instructed to complete and return by fax the enclosed Acknowledgement & Stock Status Form, indicating the number of units destroyed and if they are requesting replacement product. Any questions were directed to Linda Todd at 1-800-334-9751, ext. 4951.
