The FDA has issued its most severe warning for the recall of Avanos Medical's feed tube enteral positioning system.
The Cortrak*2 Enteral Access System includes an electromagnetic stylet with an external receiver as well as a display monitor. The system gives a live stream of medical tube feeding being inserted into the stomachs of patients or small bowels. This allows for increase in the accuracy of tip placement and the elimination of any complications.

The safety event is not an actual recall, but rather a sense: Avanos does not ask medical professionals to return devices to the manufacturer. Instead, it would like to ensure they're using the devices properly.

The FDA has issued a second warning regarding enteral feeding tube use. In February, the FDA issued a safety alert for parents and healthcare providers regarding the dangers of strangulation for children who use feeding tubes.
feeding tube placement This announcement was made due to two deaths reported in 2021. The tubing system was not being controlled by caregivers or staff placed around the necks and necks of children under two years old.
"The FDA believes that death and serious injury due to strangulation caused by tubing for feeding tubes used in the enteral system for children is extremely rare. But, healthcare professionals and caregivers must be aware that these events could and do occur," the FDA said in the notice. The agency suggested that similar instances might not yet have been reported to the FDA.
