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 hazard involves a medical device failing to meet accuracy specifications, which poses a risk of harm without reported injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

The Metrix Company is voluntarily recalling Container fill and transfer sets in 250 mL, 500 mL, 1000 mL, 2000 mL, 3000 mL, or 4000 mL sizes. The recall involves 137,598 cases of the product. The issue was identified after a redesign of the auto compounding device, which revealed that the compounder cannot meet the designed accuracy specification when dispensing into bags.

Upon reviewing the initial design, it was determined that dispensing volume validation was not properly conducted. Consequently, none of the compounders on the market can meet the stated specifications. The product was distributed to medical facilities in 21 US states and internationally to Australia, Canada, the Dominican Republic, Malaysia, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
