Product Name/Description	Cuff Controller with Clamp (monitors the cuff pressure of tracheal tubes for intubated patients) Model Number: 55-12-500 Serial Numbers: 1506-CC02-0039, 1506-CC02-0040 ARTG Number: 118226
Recall Action Level	Hospital
Recall Action Classification	Class II
Recall Action Commencement Date	11/04/2016
Responsible Entity	Bosco Medical Australia
Reason/Issue	The manufacturer has identified two issues relating to the power supply; - That the two halves of the power supply may come apart. If the two halves are not properly closed, there is a low risk of injury by electricity. As the conductive parts are secured by a fuse, severe injury is prevented. - The screw on domes for the housing of the power supply may break, and as a result, the housing itself may partially or completely come apart due to carious factors. It cannot be ruled out that the two issues may coincide and there is a low risk of injury by electricity. This action was undertaken prior to consultation with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).
