PROBLEM:
Risk of extubation or delay to therapy as there may be
difficulty passing a suction catheter through the endotracheal tube when
the holder is locked. There may also be difficulty locking the holder.
This is due to a manufacturing problem, which means the holder might compress the endotracheal tube.
Smiths Medical has issued a Field Safety Notice (FSN) recalling affected devices but hasn’t had sufficient confirmation that customers have received it and acted on it.
