ICU Medical recalls 10-drop admin sets with potential 15-drop cannula causing under-delivery of critical medication. Affected units may lead to serious health risks if used without correction.
There is a potential that IV administration sets contain a 15 drops/mL drop cannula instead of a 10 drops/mL drop cannula within the drip chamber. An infusion set with an incorrect drop cannula could result in inaccurate delivery of the intended infusion volume (under-delivery). This could result in under-delivery of critical medication which may lead to serious adverse health consequences.
