Action Urgent Medical Device Recall Notice, dated July 17, 2020 was sent via email on 7/21/20 and a hard copy via USPS first class mail on 7/28/20-7/29/20 to consignees advising them that Neurovision Medical Products (hereafter NMP) is voluntarily recalling Cobra 1 & 2-Channel EMG Endotracheal Tube, 6 mm, 7 mm, and 8 mm which is used for continuous EMG monitoring and status assessment of the nerves. NMP has initiated this removal due to the potential degradation of the electrode insulation material sooner than the established shelf life. This could make the electrode more susceptible to damage by dental scratching or acute bending. This may interfere with the EMG performance of the device. Failure of the device could result in a delay in the surgical procedure. Malfunction during clinical use should be evident to the clinical user by intermittent or loss of EMG signal and high electrode impedance values. We are aware of one product failure and one complaint associated with the problem. It advises customers to immediately take the following actions: Review the enclosed list of affected lots and product codes. 2. Quarantine product subject to this notice. 3. Cease distribution and use of any product from the affected lots. 4. Advise all applicable departments (including Anesthesia, OR Leadership and Materials Management). 5. Complete and return the enclosed response form as soon as possible: a. Email: customer_service@neurovisionmedical.com b. Fax: (877) 330-1727 6. NMP Customer Service will respond with a return authorization (RMA) number and return shipping label for any stock of affected lots that you may have. 7. If you have distributed this product to another location or entity, notify them of this product recall (include a copy of this notice), and contact NMP Customer Service for a return authorization (RMA).
