Federal health officials have announced a Class I recall affecting certain Medline neonatal and pediatric kits containing Smiths Medical ORAL/NASAL endotracheal tubes.

The Medline Industries neonatal and pediatric kit recall was announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on June 17, following at least eight reports of injuries due to underventilation. 

Medtronic neonatal and pediatric convenience kits are used for various medical procedures, including intubation. The kits include Smiths Medical ORAL/NASAL endotracheal tubes, which help maintain open airways and support ventilation by being inserted through the mouth or nose during intubation.

However, officials warn that the tubes have a smaller-than-expected diameter, which may prevent patients from receiving adequate ventilation. This can result in serious health consequences, including oxygen deprivation, laryngeal swelling, organ failure, cardiopulmonary arrest and even death.
