Becton Dickinson Recalls CareFusion Safe-T-Centesis Catheter Drainage Trays

Becton Dickinson is recalling 900 units of CareFusion Safe-T-Centesis Catheter Drainage Trays because the 8 Fr catheter was manufactured with a 6.9 Fr needle instead of the correct 8 Fr needle.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The source text does not report any injuries, illnesses, or fatalities, and the defect is a manufacturing specification error rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural failure.
