B. Braun is recalling certain Accu-Bloc Perifix kits due to a damaged filter membrane that may not achieve proper filter capacity. This could lead to inadequate filtration during medical use. Affected kits have specific lot numbers and expiration dates listed in the recall notice.
The filter membrane in these kits can become damaged, which reduces the filter's ability to properly capture particles. This could lead to inadequate filtration during medical procedures, potentially allowing contaminants to reach the patient.
Healthcare professionals using the Accu-Bloc Perifix kit for medical procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving treatments with these kits may be affected if the filter fails.
