ICU Medical Recalls Smallbore Trifuse Extension Sets Due to Seal Defect

ICU Medical is recalling specific lots of Smallbore Trifuse Extension Sets because a manufacturing defect may prevent the NanoClave spike from sealing properly.

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: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (medical device) where a defect may inhibit a proper seal, but the source text does not report any injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical risk without reported harm.

Plain-English summary

ICU Medical, Inc. is recalling specific lots of 5.5-inch Smallbore Trifuse Extension Sets. The recall involves 304,735 units distributed nationwide in the United States and in several countries including Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Martinique, Mexico, Poland, and Saudi Arabia. The affected lot numbers are 4475297 and 4711598.

The recall was initiated due to a potential manufacturing defect on the internal surface of the NanoClave component within the sets. This defect may inhibit a proper seal with the NanoClave spike. The device is a single-use, sterile, non-pyrogenic intravascular administration set used to provide access for the administration of fluids from a container to a patient's vascular system.

Healthcare facilities and distributors should stop using the affected lots and contact ICU Medical for further instructions. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries associated with this defect.
