Plain-English summary
Becton Dickinson & Company is recalling PowerLoc MAX Power Injectable Infusion Sets with GuardIVa Antimicrobial Hemostatic Dressing Port Access Kits. The recall involves specific catalog numbers and lot numbers, with a total of 5,296,132 units distributed worldwide.
The recall is due to a potential defect where cracks or breaks may develop in the tubing near the Luer or Y site. If the tubing breaks or cracks, it can cause leakage, exposing users to chemicals such as chemotherapeutics or biohazard materials like blood.
A crack or break in the tubing could result in blood loss, catheter occlusion, air embolism, under or interrupted infusion, or site contamination that could lead to infection. Users should check their devices for the affected catalog and lot numbers and follow instructions from the manufacturer or healthcare provider regarding the recall.
