Recall published 11 months ago

Potential for backflow of medication from secondary (piggyback) IV containers into primary IV containers and the inability to prime (occlusion).

The hazard: Device safety concern

A device recall was filed for this product. For anything implanted or relied on daily, the clinician comes before the paperwork.

What the notice says: Potential for backflow of medication from secondary (piggyback) IV containers into primary IV containers and the inability to prime (occlusion).

Why it matters: The FDA recorded an enforcement action against this device. Most device recalls are corrections rather than removals, so the device often stays in use while the manufacturer issues a fix.
