Plain-English summary
B. Braun Medical, Inc. is recalling approximately 5,000 units of various pain control trays, including CONTIPLEX, Custom Epidural, and PERIFIX models. The recall is due to a potential hole in the outer tray of a limited number of these products. This defect may compromise the integrity of the sterile barrier.
