Parker Medical Notified Of FDA 510(K) Approval For Nasotracheal Intubation

Highlands Ranch, CO -- In June, 2010, the U.S. FDA granted Parker Medical’s 510(k) application for clearance to sell Parker Flex-Tip tubes for nasal intubation in the U.S. This allows us to close a large previous gap in our domestic endotracheal tube product line, and to better serve the needs of paramedics, emergency room physicians, dentist anesthesiologists, and oral surgeons who perform a substantial number of nasotracheal intubations.

Parker Medical's mission is to make intubation safer for the patient and easier for the medical professional. Parker strives to meet this objective by providing innovative, cost-effective airway management products. The slogans "Innovation in Intubation™" and "To Life!™" embody the mission and philosophy of Parker Medical, a company devoted to saving lives by significantly improving the technology for tracheal intubation in the hospital and pre-hospital setting. Through a unified family of products, Parker strives to increase the accuracy, speed, and safety of intubation, while actively seeking to apply Parker's patented airway management technologies in development of new products and systems. Parker Medical is truly a global organization, utilizing distributors world-wide to introduce inovative products to the medical community.
