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 defect that could lead to incorrect invasive blood pressure measurements, posing a risk of harm to patients, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Draeger Medical Systems, Inc. is recalling 2,760 units of the INFINITY DUAL HEMO MCable Pod, which are used with the Dräger Infinity Acute Care System. The affected products are identified by Revision Index (RI) 15 or 16, which can be found on the product label. The recall is due to a potential defect where the pods may permit liquid ingress that is inconsistent with their IPX4 rating.

Healthcare facilities and users should check their inventory for Dual Hemo MCable Pods with Revision Index 15 or 16. If these specific units are found, they should be removed from service and contacted with the recalling firm for instructions on return or replacement.
