FDA (Devices) recall action 81477
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 2 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 2 pages.
Specific lots of Xcela Power Injectable and BioFlo PICCs are labelled with incorrect expiration dates. The labelled expiration date extends the shelf life of the product beyond the date supported by validation testing. Although the product under recall has not yet reached its validated expiry date, removal of the affected product is warranted to prevent use beyond the validated expiry date.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.
