Medline Industries is recalling 926,227 IV Administration and Extension Sets because the male connector (luer lock) may leak, crack, or break when exposed to certain chemicals or physical stress. This defect can lead to serious issues including patient treatment delays, blood loss, infection, air in the bloodstream (air embolism), or medication underdosage. These products were distributed nationwide in the U.S. and in the Bahamas.
The connector can fail during use, which may cause the IV line to disconnect or leak, potentially allowing air to enter the patient's bloodstream or causing the patient to receive the wrong amount of life-saving medication.
Includes various administration sets, extension sets, and sets with needle-free valves and flow controllers.
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.
