Teleflex D-Stat Flowable Hemostat Recalled for Expired Diluent Vial

Teleflex is recalling D-Stat Flowable Hemostat units with expired diluent vials that cannot assure sterility. No illnesses or injuries have been reported.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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: Class II medical device recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The expired diluent creates a theoretical loss of sterility assurance, meeting the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Teleflex LLC is recalling 1140 units of D-Stat Flowable Hemostat (REF 4000) distributed nationwide in the United States. The affected lot numbers are 717535 and 717413. The device is intended for sealing residual oozing of tissue tracts at femoral access sites previously closed by suture or collagen-based hemostatic devices.

The recalled product contains an expired diluent vial. The diluent component has passed beyond its studied shelf life, meaning the sterility of this component cannot be assured. If the product is used, the sterility assurance of the diluent is compromised.
