ICU Medical Recalls Blood Sets with Incorrect DEHP Labeling

ICU Medical is recalling specific 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 chemical composition (DEHP) without reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.

Plain-English summary

ICU Medical, Inc. is recalling 160,016 units of 143" (363 cm) 20 Drop Y-Type Blood Sets with 200 Micron Filters, Hand Pumps, and Clave Connectors. The affected devices are single-use, sterile, non-pyrogenic accessories intended for needle-free withdrawal of blood.
