Becton Dickinson recalls Ultra Touch Blood Collection Sets due to potential failure to meet sterility standards. Affected units may not be sterile, risking infection during blood draws.
Products do not meet the labeled sterility claim of a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) 10-6.
Becton Dickinson is recalling Ultra Touch Blood Collection Sets because they might not be sterile as claimed. This could lead to infections if used for blood draws without proper sterility.
The sets may not meet the required sterility level (SAL 10-6), meaning they might not be sterile enough for medical use. This could allow bacteria to contaminate blood samples during collection, increasing infection risk.
Healthcare professionals and lab staff who use these blood collection sets are most at risk. Patients using the sets for blood draws could also face infection risks.
