Steris Quick Connects Recalled Due to Hysteroscope Port Mismatch
Steris Corporation is recalling 809 Quick Connect flow units because processing instructions incorrectly list a hysteroscope model with two inlet ports when the device has only one.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The hazard is a labeling/instruction error regarding port configuration, which is a moderate risk.
Plain-English summary
Steris Corporation is recalling 809 units of Quick Connects, model numbers QKC1736E, QKC1736INT, QKC1737E, and QKC1737INT. These flow units, which consist of tubing, tethers, and adapters, are used for sterilant and rinse water in endoscope washers. The recall covers all lots of these specific models.
The recall was initiated because the firm discovered that one of the hysteroscope models listed for processing in four existing Quick Connects has one inlet port, whereas the Quick Connect processing instructions indicate that the model has two inlet ports. This discrepancy could lead to improper processing of the medical device.
The affected products were distributed worldwide, including in the United States, Australia, Bahrain, Bulgaria, Canada, Greece, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Qatar, Russia, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Users should stop using the affected Quick Connects and contact Steris Corporation for further instructions.
