Plain-English summary

ICU Medical, Inc. is recalling 430 units of the Transpac Disposable Straight Pressure Transducer (DSPT) kits, specifically Item No. 46097-66. These kits include a single disposable transducer with a 0.3ml flush device and are designed to interface between a catheter and a pressure monitor.
