Becton Dickinson Recalls Bard 3F SL PowerMidline Full Kits
Becton Dickinson is recalling Bard 3F SL PowerMidline Full Kits because they may lack the stylet/T-lock assembly, potentially causing procedural delays.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text explicitly states the hazard is a procedural delay and potential discard of the kit, with no reports of injury or adverse health consequences. This aligns with the 'Moderate' severity criteria for low-risk issues without reported harm.
Plain-English summary
Becton Dickinson & Company is recalling 72 units of the Bard 3F SL PowerMidline Full Kit. These medical devices are indicated for short-term access to the peripheral venous system for selected intravenous therapies, blood sampling, and power injection of contrast media.

The affected products are identified by Lot Numbers REEQ3598 (Feb-2022) and REER0518 (Mar-2022) with UDI 00801741141065. The products were distributed in Italy, Spain, and the UK.
