Smiths Medical ASD Inc. has recalled over 3.8 million CADD Medication Cassette Reservoirs and ENT Reservoirs because of a production equipment malfunction. This defect caused a weakened weld joint where the medication bag meets the tubing, which can lead to medication leaking out of the system. These products are used for delivering medication and fluids to patients. Consumers should identify if their specific lot number is affected and contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer for guidance on receiving a potential refund or replacement.
A weakened joint between the medication bag and the tubing can cause the medication to leak. This may result in the patient receiving an incorrect dose of medication or being exposed to potential infection if the fluid path is compromised.
