Plain-English summary

ICU Medical, Inc. is recalling 650 units of REF: Z2560, 100" 10 Drop Admin Set w/Hand Pump, 2 Clave", Rotating Luer, 1 Pressure Infusion (400psig) Ext, Purple Clamp. The affected lot numbers are 4172061 and 4173149. The recall is due to a potential manufacturing error where the IV administration sets may contain a 15 drops/mL drop cannula instead of the intended 10 drops/mL drop cannula within the drip chamber.

The use of an incorrect drop cannula could result in inaccurate delivery of the intended infusion volume, specifically under-delivery. This error could lead to the under-delivery of critical medication, which may result in serious adverse health consequences for patients.

The affected products were distributed to 48 states in the United States and Canada. The source text notes that REF numbers AH7117 and B30211 were not marketed or distributed within the US. Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using the affected units and contact ICU Medical for further instructions.
