What happened, in plain English

B. Braun is recalling flat epidural filters that may not hold proper fluid volume due to a damaged membrane. This could lead to inadequate fluid delivery during medical procedures.

Why it’s dangerous

Who’s affected

Healthcare professionals using the FEF 100N flat epidural filters for medical procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving epidural anesthesia may be affected if the filter fails.
