Bayer recalls Avanta Multi-Patient Administration Tube Sets (AVA 500 MPAT) used with Medrad Avanta Injection due to stopcock disengagement risk during contrast injection. Affected units have specific catalog and batch numbers.
Supplier changes resulted in a fit issue with the Contrast Flow Control Valve (CFCV) interface on the Avanta Injector System. Multiple customer reports indicate that the stopcock cannot be reliably engaged with the CFCV snap interface. In instances where engagement is achieved through applied force, the connection is unstable, and the stopcock may disengage before or during contrast injection, leading to procedure interruption.
Bayer is recalling Avanta Multi-Patient Administration Tube Sets (AVA 500 MPAT) used with Medrad Avanta Injection systems because the stopcock may disengage during contrast injection, causing procedure interruptions. This risk affects medical professionals using these tubes in imaging procedures.
The stopcock may become unstable and disengage from the Contrast Flow Control Valve interface during contrast injection. This can happen even after applying force to engage, potentially interrupting the procedure and requiring restart.
Medical professionals using the Avanta Multi-Patient Administration Tube Sets with Medrad Avanta Injection systems are most at risk. Patients undergoing imaging procedures with these tubes could experience interrupted contrast injections.
