B. Braun Introcan Safety IV Catheters Recalled for Missing 510(k) Clearance

Janus Trade Group is recalling B. Braun Introcan Safety IV Catheters distributed in the US without required FDA 510(k) clearance.

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 issue is the lack of 510(k) clearance and does not report any illnesses or injuries, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity regulatory compliance issue.
