ICU Medical Recalls Blood Sets with Incorrect DEHP Labeling

ICU Medical is recalling 85-inch Y-Type Blood Sets because some units are labeled as not containing DEHP, even though the product may contain small amounts of the chemical.

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, but the source text describes a labeling error regarding DEHP content without reporting any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity labeling issue.

Plain-English summary

ICU Medical, Inc. is recalling 160,016 units of 85" (216 cm) Y-Type Blood Sets with 170 Micron Filter, Hand Pump, Clave, and Rotating Luer. The recall is due to a labeling error where some devices are marked as "Does not contain DEHP" despite the possibility that the product contains small amounts of DEHP.

The affected blood tubing accessories are single-use, sterile, non-pyrogenic devices intended for use as an adjunct to blood tubing sets or venipuncture devices for needle-free withdrawal of blood.
