B. Braun Medical, Inc. is recalling 7,370 PERIFIX Epidural Trays because they contain the wrong type of filter straws. The kits were supposed to include straws with standard Luer connections, but instead contain Neuraxial connectors, which prevent the straw from connecting to other essential parts in the kit. This defect can delay medical procedures or prevent the administration of pain medication. These kits were distributed nationwide across the United States between late 2023 and early 2024.
The incompatible connectors prevent the filter straw from interfacing with other kit components, which can lead to delays in treatment or the inability to administer necessary anesthetic or analgesic medication during epidural procedures.
