Device product

FLEXI NOZZLE SHORT Product Usage: These products are used for the delivery of topical anesthesia via an atomized spray to the oral, nasal, pharyngeal or laryngeal mucosa. Teleflex Medical is recalling these products as they may produce a straight stream instead of a fully atomized plume of medication. It is unlikely that serious adverse health consequences will occur in the event of a failure to deliver an atomized plume; however, this may result in inadequate topical anesthesia which may lead to some discomfort, further attempts to deliver topical anesthesia, or the use of alternative methods of anesthesia.
