Cook Inc. Recalls Connecting Tubes Due to Potential Leakage

Cook Inc. is recalling 220 connecting tubes because the cap-adapter assembly may not be adequately tightened, potentially leading to fluid leakage or air aspiration.

What this means for you

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves potential fluid leakage or air aspiration in a medical device, which poses a risk of harm, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses.

Plain-English summary

Cook Inc. is recalling 220 units of the Connecting Tube - Female to Male Luer Lock, model HPCT8.8-60-M-FM. The recall involves lots 7853883, 7871665, and 7940332. These devices are intended to serve as a conduit between a fluid reservoir and a vascular catheter in patients, often used during angiographic procedures to connect radiographic contrast power injectors to vascular catheters, for arterial pressure monitoring, and for fluid infusion.

The recall was initiated because the cap-adapter assembly of the device may potentially not be adequately tightened. This defect could possibly lead to fluid leakage from the connecting tube or air aspiration into the tube.

The affected products were distributed to accounts in seven U.S. states: Alabama, California, Georgia, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, and Texas. International distribution occurred in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. The source text does not specify the actions consumers or healthcare providers should take.
