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 medical device with a potential leak, which poses a risk of harm to patients, but the source text does not report any injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

ICU Medical, Inc. is recalling 40 units of SafeSet Reservoir and blood sampling kits that contain Transpac IV transducers.
