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 functional defect (air ingress) that halts the procedure, representing a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Acist Medical Systems is issuing a voluntary recall for 6,640 units of BT2000 Automated Manifold Kits. The recall covers specific lots with codes 23884007, 23884008, and 23884009.
