ICU Medical Recalls Intravascular Administration Sets Due to Seal Defect

ICU Medical is recalling specific lots of intravascular administration sets because a manufacturing defect may prevent a proper seal.

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 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states the agency classification is Class II. Per the rubric, FDA Class II recalls are assigned a severity score of 4 (Severe), as they involve a reasonable probability of temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
