Plain-English summary

The Metrix Company is recalling 18,366 cases of Container fill and transfer sets, automatic fill compatible, in sizes ranging from 250 mL to 4000 mL. The recall affects product codes 58740, 58741, 58742, 58749, 58750, 58753, and 58754.

The recall was initiated after a redesign of the auto compounding device revealed that the compounder cannot meet the designed accuracy specification when dispensing into bags. A review of the initial design determined that dispensing volume validation was not properly conducted, and none of the compounders on the market can meet the stated specifications.

The product was distributed to medical facilities in 21 US states and the US Virgin Islands, as well as internationally to Australia, Canada, the Dominican Republic, Malaysia, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. Medical facilities should stop using the affected product and contact The Metrix Company for further instructions.
