Plain-English summary
ICU Medical, Inc. is recalling approximately 5.8 million units of its 6-inch Smallbore Trifuse Extension Sets worldwide. The affected sets include multiple product numbers and lot numbers identified by UDI codes. These are medical devices used in infusion therapy to connect intravenous (IV) lines.
The recall was initiated due to a manufacturing defect in which a visible gap exists between the top and bottom housing of the connector. This gap could potentially allow the connector to separate during use or permit fluid leakage, potentially compromising the integrity of the infusion line.
The affected products have been distributed throughout the United States (all states plus Guam and Puerto Rico) and internationally to 27 countries including Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, and others. Healthcare facilities and patients using these extension sets may be affected.
The FDA has classified this as a Class II recall. Patients and healthcare providers should stop using the affected lots and contact ICU Medical or their healthcare provider for replacement units. Product identification information including lot numbers and UDI codes is available from the FDA.
