Centurion Medical Products Recalls Sterile Cap Change Kits

Centurion Medical Products is recalling sterile cap change kits because they include a connector that may leak fluid droplets after disconnection.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a medical device with a potential for fluid leakage, which poses a risk of harm, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
