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

Plain-English summary

ICU Medical, Inc. is recalling 235 units of SafeSet Reservoir and blood sampling kits that contain Transpac IV transducers. The specific product identified is the Monitoring Kit with 30 ml Flush Device for Egleston Hospital, Item No. 46094-50. The Transpac Disposable Straight Pressure Transducer (DSPT) is an extravascular pressure transducer that interfaces between a catheter and a pressure monitor by converting pressure changes into electrical currents.
