Why it was recalled

Reported complaints indicate an increased incidence of specific lots of the 15 mm Sheridan connector becoming disconnected from the endotracheal tube (ETT). Disconnection from the breathing circuit may result in insufficient oxygenation, requiring medical intervention.

Class I is the FDA’s most serious recall level: there is a reasonable probability that using this product will cause serious harm or death.
