“Avanos Medical Y-CONNECTOR: No Expiration Date on Sterile Extension Sets.” GovInfoNow, updated August 19, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/60060-avanos-medical-y-connector-no-expiration-date-on-sterile-extension. Based on FDA recall #Z-0195-2023 (https://api.fda.gov/device/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22Z-0195-2023%22&limit=1).
Why it’s dangerous
Sterile medical tubing should have an expiration date to ensure it remains safe for use. Without an expiration date, the tubing may become contaminated or ineffective over time, increasing the risk of infections or complications during medical procedures.
Who’s affected
Pain control pump users who have the sterile extension sets labeled as SUMMIT MEDICAL PRODUCTS REF 220227 or MPS Acacia CAT NO BC-006-04 are affected. Patients using these sets for medical procedures are at risk of infection if the tubing expires.
How to tell if you have this one
Check for the label 'SUMMIT MEDICAL PRODUCTS, REF 220227' or 'MPS Acacia CAT NO: BC-006-04' on the extension set. These sets were sold with all lot codes and are used with pain control pumps.
