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: This is a risk-of-harm medical device where no injuries have been reported, consistent with a High severity classification. The manufacturing defect in the O-ring seal of a medication infusion device could lead to treatment failure through under-infusion, but the absence of reported illnesses limits the score below Severe.
Plain-English summary
Smiths Medical Asd Inc is recalling specific lot numbers (4383431, 4387987, 4404698) of its 48-inch injection line rotating adapters, rated at 900 psi. The product is a medical device component used in medication infusion systems.
The recall is due to a manufacturing defect affecting the O-ring seal. In affected units, the inner diameter of the O-ring is oversized, which compromises the seal integrity of the rotating adapter.
An inadequate seal may allow medication to leak during infusion, potentially resulting in under-infusion of medication. The product was distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates, affecting a total of 31,685 units.
The FDA has classified this as a Class II recall.
