BD recalls Alaris PCEA Administration Sets with yellow tubing that may leak, causing under-infusion of medication and inadequate pain control. Affected units have specific catalog numbers and lot numbers.
The products have the potential to leak between the connection of the male luer and the yellow striped tubing. This leak may be observed while priming or during use. The most likely health consequence associated with a leak in an administration set would be inadequate pain control for the patient due to an under-infusion of medication.
