FDA Determined Cause 2 | Under Investigation by firm |
Action | Medtronic sent an URGENT: MEDICAL DEVICE SAFETY NOTICE to impacted customers on 29-APR-2022 by mail. The letter explained the problem and provided Recommended Actions when using NIM Standard Reinforced EMG Endotracheal Tube & NIM CONTACT Reinforced EMG Endotracheal Tube and airway obstruction is encountered:
1. Immediately deflate the cuff and attempt to ventilate.
2. If ventilation cannot be re-established:
a. Extubate the NIM Standard Reinforced EMG Endotracheal Tube or NIM CONTACT Reinforced EMG Endotracheal Tube from the patient
b. Re-establish ventilation with Bag Valve Mask (BVM} or Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA).
c. Reintubate with a new PVC Endotracheal Tube or, if surgically needed, re-intubate the patient with a new, larger NIM Standard Reinforced EMG Endotracheal Tube or NIM CONTACT Reinforced EMG Endotracheal Tube which requires less cuff inflation volume and pressure.
Additional Discussion for Using a NIM Standard Reinforced EMG Endotracheal Tube & NIM CONTACT Reinforced EMG Endotracheal Tube:
Intubate the patient using standard of care and medical training and knowledge. Per the IFU, use care when manipulating the tube's position. Manipulating an inflated tube can cause the inflated cuff to stretch over the tube opening and may cause patient airway obstruction. Deflate the cuff before manipulating or repositioning the tube and/or patient. Then assess tube placement and non-occlusion.
Copies of the updated IFU will be disseminated when available.
Medtronic posted this issue to its US Product Performance and Advisories Information for Healthcare Professionals website on 3-May-2022. If you have any questions, contact your Medtronic ENT representative.
Within the US, beginning 30-Jan-2024, Medtronic distributed a follow-up a notice via mail courier to all impacted consignees about availability of the updated IFU.
