ICU Medical Recalls Blood Sets with Incorrect DEHP Labeling

ICU Medical is recalling 160,016 blood sets labeled as DEHP-free because they may contain small amounts of DEHP.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a labeling error regarding DEHP content without reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall.

Plain-English summary

ICU Medical, Inc. is recalling 160,016 units of 147-inch Bifuse Blood Sets with 170 Micron Filters and Hand Pumps. The recall involves specific lots of the sterile, single-use blood tubing accessory with CLAVE Connector, which is intended for needle-free withdrawal of blood.

The recall was initiated because some devices were labeled as "Does not contain DEHP" even though the product may contain small amounts of DEHP. This labeling discrepancy affects the accuracy of the product's material composition information.

The affected products were distributed nationwide in the United States to 29 states and in Canada, Cyprus, Japan, Kuwait, Malaysia, and South Africa. Users should stop using the affected devices and contact ICU Medical for instructions on return or replacement.
