Genesis BPS Recalls Pedi-Pak Syringe Filters for Unreported Changes

Genesis BPS is recalling 7,560 units of Pedi-Pak Pedi-Syringe Filters because the company failed to notify the FDA of material changes to the device.

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 cites a regulatory notification failure rather than a specific safety defect or reported injury, aligning with the 'Moderate' criteria for voluntary or administrative recalls without reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Genesis BPS, LLC. is recalling 7,560 units of Pedi-Pak Pedi-Syringe Filter 30 mL Becton Dickinson Syringe devices. These devices are intended to prepare and deliver small aliquots of filtered whole blood, red blood cells, platelets, plasma, and cryoprecipitate for pediatric and neonatal transfusion.
