What the notice says: Intravascular administration tubing set drip chambers may have black specks potentially due to the plastic molding process leaving discolored polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material within the drip chamber wall that does not enter the fluid path, which if seen by a healthcare provider may lead to replacement of product before use, which could result in a delay in therapy.
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.
