Plain-English summary

ICU Medical, Inc. is recalling 60 units of the Transpac Disposable Straight Pressure Transducer (DSPT) kits, specifically Item No. 46097-64. These medical devices are extravascular pressure transducers that interface between a catheter and a pressure monitor to convert pressure changes into electrical currents. The kits include the SafeSet Reservoir system, which is a blood sampling system assembled directly to the patient monitoring line for patients requiring periodic blood sampling.

The recall was initiated because ICU Medical identified a potential for leak with certain SafeSet Reservoir and blood sampling kits containing the Transpac IV transducers. The affected units were distributed nationwide.

Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using the affected transducer kits immediately. Users should contact ICU Medical, Inc. for further instructions on how to return or replace the devices.
