DELTAVEN Y IV Catheters Recalled Over Potential Sterilization Defect

Delta Med is recalling DELTAVEN Y IV Catheters in Florida and Minnesota due to potential sterilization defects. The devices may not be properly sterilized, posing infection risks to patients.

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 FDA Class II medical device recall addresses a serious potential sterilization defect in a patient-contact device. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is potential rather than confirmed, warranting a High severity rating per the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
