ICU Medical Recalls Blood Sets With Incorrect DEHP Labeling
ICU Medical is recalling specific lots of Y-Type Blood Sets because they were labeled as not containing DEHP, despite potentially containing 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 hazard is a labeling error regarding DEHP content rather than a structural defect or reported injury, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity labeling issue.
Plain-English summary
ICU Medical, Inc. is recalling 160,016 units of 117" (297 cm) Y-Type Blood Sets with 170 Micron Filters. The affected devices are single-use, sterile, non-pyrogenic blood tubing accessories intended for needle-free withdrawal of blood. The recall involves Item Number Z3843 and specific lot numbers: 70-973-SJ, 71-474-Y1, 73-006-JW, 73-641-HE, and 74-340-JW.
The recall was initiated because some of these devices were labeled as "Does not contain DEHP" even though the product may contain small amounts of DEHP. This is a labeling discrepancy regarding the presence of a specific chemical in the medical device.
The affected products were distributed nationwide in the United States to 29 states, as well as to Canada, Cyprus, Japan, Kuwait, Malaysia, and South Africa. Healthcare facilities and distributors should check their inventory for the specific item and lot numbers listed and stop using the affected devices.
