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 involves a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, but the potential for under-delivery of critical medication could lead to serious adverse health consequences.

Plain-English summary

The recall is due to a potential defect 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 affected units were distributed to 48 US states and Canada. Consumers and healthcare facilities should stop using the affected IV administration sets and contact ICU Medical, Inc. for further instructions or replacement.
