Approximately 500 units of BD Connecta Luer-Lok 360 stopcocks, including Connecta Plus 1 and Connecta Plus 3 models, are being recalled because they were distributed with instructions for use intended for markets outside of the United States. These devices are used as control valves in intravenous (IV) therapy and for blood pressure monitoring in clinical settings. While no injuries or incidents have been reported to date, the manufacturer is initiating this voluntary recall to ensure users have the correct instructions for the U.S. market.
Using a medical device with incorrect instructions may lead to clinical errors, improper device setup, or inaccurate patient monitoring. This could potentially disrupt necessary medical treatment or pressure monitoring during critical care.
Units were shipped with Outside US (OUS) Instructions for Use (IFU).
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
