Approximately 2.89 million Merit Medical convenience kits, including procedure trays for angiography, waste management, and fluid management, are being recalled. These kits contain plastic syringes manufactured by Jiangsu Shenli Medical Production Co. Ltd. that have been identified as having quality issues such as leaks and breakage. Consumers and healthcare providers should identify if they have affected kits and contact Merit Medical for guidance, as no specific repair or replacement remedy was provided in the initial notice.
Defective syringes in these kits can leak or break during use, which may lead to incorrect medication dosing, procedure delays, or air bubbles entering a patient's bloodstream. These issues pose a moderate risk to patient health depending on the medical procedure being performed.
