Bard Access Systems Recalls PowerLoc MAX Safety Winged Infusion Set

Bard Access Systems is recalling 700 units of the PowerLoc MAX Safety Winged Infusion Set due to a potential incorrect Maximum Flow rate label on the packaging.

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, but the source text identifies the issue as a potential incorrect label on the packaging rather than a structural defect or reported injury. This aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving labeling errors or precautionary actions without reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Bard Access Systems is conducting a field action for the PowerLoc MAX Safety Winged Infusion Set, Product Code 0132215. The recall involves 700 units from Lot D430107 that were distributed to Georgia and Minnesota. The device is intended for the administration of fluids and drugs, blood sampling, and power injection of contrast media through surgically implanted vascular ports.

The field action is being conducted because an incorrect Maximum Flow rate label associated with the power injection Instructions for Use (IFU) may have been attached to the outside of the unit pouch. This labeling error could potentially affect the accuracy of the flow rate information provided to users.

Healthcare providers and facilities that have received these specific units should stop using them and contact Bard Access Systems for further instructions. The recall is limited to the specific lot and product code identified in the notice.
