Cook Medical central venous catheter sets labeled with overstated expiration dates

Cook Medical is recalling Spectrum Central Venous Catheter Sets because affected lots were labeled with expiration dates that exceed the product's true shelf life. 5,080 units are affected.

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: FDA Class II recall where an overstated expiry date can lead to use of a sterile device beyond its validated shelf life, a risk of harm with no injuries reported.

Plain-English summary

Cook Medical is recalling the Spectrum Central Venous Catheter Set across several reference part numbers, including C-UDLM-401J-ABRM-HC, C-UDLM-401J-ABRM-HC-CAH, C-UDLM-401J-LSC-ABRM-HC and a paediatric variant, as listed in the recall notice. The action covers 5,080 units.

Products from the affected device lots were labeled with expiration dates that exceed the true shelf life of the product. A catheter set carrying an overstated expiry can be held and used after the point at which its sterility and performance were validated. The FDA classified the action as Class II.

Distribution was worldwide. The sets are supplied to healthcare facilities rather than sold to consumers.

Facilities should identify affected stock using the reference part numbers and lot numbers in the recall notice, quarantine it, and follow the instructions issued by Cook Medical.
