Medicina ENFit enteral syringe recall due to material specification defect

Medicina is recalling ENFit 1ml enteral syringes because the plunger was manufactured with polyethylene instead of approved polypropylene. This material defect could affect plunger function and device safety.

What this means for you

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: This is a material specification defect in a medical device where the plunger was manufactured with an unapproved material (polyethylene instead of polypropylene). While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the defect represents a structural risk to proper device function in a medical application.
