Avanos Medical recalls sterile extension sets for pain control pumps that lack an expiration date. This may lead to using expired medical tubing, potentially causing infections or complications.
Sterile extension sets were distributed without an expiration date
Avanos Medical is recalling sterile extension sets for pain control pumps that were distributed without an expiration date. This could lead to using expired tubing, increasing the risk of infections or complications.
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.
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.
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.
Look for an expiration date on the sterile extension set. If none is present, it is part of the recall.
