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

Plain-English summary
ICU Medical, Inc. is recalling specific lots of ChemoClave needle-free Closed System Transfer Devices (CSTDs). The recall involves 6.5-inch extension sets with Clave Clear, Clave 4-Way Stopcock, and Spiros Red Cap components. The total quantity of affected products is 304,735 units.
The recall was initiated due to a potential manufacturing defect on the internal surface of the NanoClave within specific lots. This defect may inhibit a proper seal with the NanoClave spike. The ChemoClave is designed to mechanically prohibit the transfer of environmental contaminants, including bacterial and airborne contaminants, into the system and the escape of drug or vapor concentrations outside the system. A failure to seal properly could compromise this safety function.
The affected products were distributed nationwide in the United States and in several countries including Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Martinique, Mexico, Poland, and Saudi Arabia. Healthcare facilities and distributors should stop using the affected lots and contact ICU Medical for further instructions.
