Plain-English summary
American Contract Systems, Inc. is recalling the Sub Q Recorder Pack, REF BPRC87A (96 cases, UDI/DI 00191072187970, Lot Number 969231). An internal company investigation identified that two components within the pack—I.V. Cath (part number 4252535-02) and Adhesive Dermabond (part number DHVM12)—were inadvertently subjected to improper sterilization processing.
Specifically, these components were exposed to the company's ethylene oxide sterilization process at temperatures exceeding the limits approved by the respective component manufacturers. As a result, the components may experience a loss or lack of functionality, a loss of drug efficacy (if applicable), and may have ethylene oxide residuals that exceed manufacturer specifications. Such defects could compromise the intended function of the Sub Q Recorder Pack.
The affected product was distributed nationwide, including to consumers in Florida and Iowa. The recall affects 96 cases. Further information regarding this recall is available from American Contract Systems, Inc.
