ICU Medical is recalling Oncology Kits with extension sets due to potential leaks that could interrupt chemotherapy infusion and expose hazardous substances to patients, caregivers, and pharmacy technicians.
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: This is a Class II recall involving a high-risk infusion device where leaks could result in therapy interruption and patient harm, including underdose of chemotherapy and hazardous substance exposure. No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, but the potential for serious harm is significant given the critical nature of oncology infusion therapy.
