Bard Access Systems recalls Intraosseous needle kits with potential for needle assembly loss during use. Affected models include D015151NK, D015151MK, and others. Stop using immediately to prevent injury.
BD Intraosseous Needle Kits may exhibit: 1) Increased force required to remove the stylet from intraosseous needle during placement may cause removal of the entire needle assembly and loss of intraosseous access; 2) Stylet safety mechanism may not engage as the stylet is removed; 3) Metal discs in the powered driver may stick rendering the driver unusable.
Bard Access Systems is recalling several intraosseous needle kits due to risks of needle assembly loss or failure during use. This could lead to loss of intraosseous access or injury if the stylet safety mechanism doesn't engage properly.
The needle kits may require excessive force to remove the stylet, causing the entire needle assembly to detach. The stylet safety mechanism might not activate when removing the stylet, and metal discs in the driver could jam, making the device inoperable.
Medical professionals using these kits for intraosseous procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving treatment with affected kits may experience complications.
