Erbe Medical, Llc: Endoscopic Irrigation/suction System

Recall Summary Erbe Medical is recalling ERBEFLO 2 Endoscopy Pump Tubing/Cap Sets because the connector design may allow unintended water to flow from the device tip when used with certain third-party connectors. This water leakage could lead to water being inhaled into the lungs, potentially causing aspiration pneumonia or serious respiratory problems. The affected devices were distributed nationwide across all U.S. states and territories.

Recalling firm: Erbe Medical, LLC
Product: ERBEFLO 2, Endoscopy Pump Tubing/Cap Set, REF: 20325-222
Reason: Devices providing sterile water/CO2/air to endoscopes were manufactured with a distal irrigation segment connector configuration that may be more susceptible to unintended water flow from distal tip under unsupported third-party connector use conditions, which may lead to water aspiration, which may progress to aspiration pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or respiratory failure.
