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.

Plain-English summary

ICU Medical, Inc. is recalling 25 units of REF: Z2850 112" (284 cm) 10 Drop Primary IV administration sets. The recall is due to a potential manufacturing error where the 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 could lead to the under-delivery of critical medication, which may result in serious adverse health consequences for patients.

The affected product is identified by Lot number 4172062. The units were distributed to facilities in 44 U.S. states and Canada. Healthcare providers and consumers should check their inventory for this specific lot number and discontinue use if found.
