ICU Medical Recalls 10 Drop Primary IV Sets Due to Cannula Error
ICU Medical is recalling 50 units of 10 Drop Primary IV Sets because they may contain 15 drops/mL cannulas, risking under-delivery of critical medications.
What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the defect 'may lead to serious adverse health consequences' due to under-delivery of critical medication, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury' or high-risk medical device defects.
Plain-English summary
ICU Medical, Inc. is recalling 50 units of REF: Z3806, 131" (333 cm) 10 Drop Primary Set w/2 MicroClave, Remv 4 Gang 4-way Stopcocks (1 Remv), Check Valve, Rotating Luer, 1 Ext, Sterile R. The affected lot number is 4169642. The product is a sterile intravenous administration set.
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. An infusion set with 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.
The affected units were distributed to facilities in the United States (including AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WI, WY) and Canada. The source text notes that REF numbers AH7117 and B30211 were not marketed or distributed within the US. Healthcare facilities should check their inventory for this specific lot number and discontinue use of the affected sets.
