What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall involving potential flow occlusion in a critical medical device with no reported injuries. Hazard is theoretical—source does not report illnesses or injuries—which per rubric limits score to at most 3.
Plain-English summary
B Braun Medical Inc is recalling the STREAMLINE BLOODLINE LONG VERSION hemodialysis blood transfer tubing (Model SL-2000M2095L), which is used to transfer blood between a patient and hemodialyzer. A total of 2,021,376 units were distributed nationwide.
The patient connector on these bloodline tubes may not fully insert into the Locksite connection point. When incompletely inserted, the internal septum may not open fully, potentially restricting blood flow.
Flow restrictions during prograde rinseback procedures could delay hemodialysis treatment or require clinicians to switch to retrograde flow methods. This recall was classified by the FDA as a Class II recall.
