BD is recalling 110,350 Alaris PCEA Administration Sets because they may leak at the luer connection, potentially causing inadequate pain control.

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 is classified as FDA Class II, and the source text identifies a risk of harm (inadequate pain control) without reporting specific injuries or illnesses, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

BD Switzerland SARL is recalling 110,350 units of the BD Alaris PCEA Administration Set, Microbore Tubing with Yellow Identification Stripe ASV, Catalog Number 30893-07. The recall covers units distributed in the United States, Canada, and Belgium.

The recall is due to a potential leak between the male luer connection and the yellow striped tubing. This leak may be observed during priming or while the set is in use. The most likely health consequence of this leak is inadequate pain control for the patient due to an under-infusion of medication.
