Biomedical Polymers recalls Manual Diff Droppers (CHB4001) due to metal cannula breaking or sliding, potentially leaving fragments in blood samples.
The metal cannula of the device either broke and the broken piece left in the blood specimen tube, or slid back into the plastic portion of the device instead of piercing the tube.
Biomedical Polymers is recalling Manual Diff Droppers with part number CHB4001 because the metal cannula can break or slide, leaving fragments in blood samples. This poses a risk of contamination and potential injury during blood sample preparation.
The metal cannula can break inside the blood sample tube, leaving sharp fragments that could contaminate the sample. Alternatively, it may slide back into the plastic part of the device instead of piercing the tube, causing improper sample collection.
