Approximately 992,227 units of various Zoetis Veterinary IV Sets are being recalled because cracks can develop at the Y-site of the tubing, leading to leaks during fluid administration. The recall includes 12 different models of primary and piggyback IV sets used for animal care, all of which are individually plastic-wrapped and sterilized. These products were distributed nationwide in the United States and Guam between late 2016 and early 2017. If you have these IV sets in your veterinary inventory, you should stop using them and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
Cracks at the Y-site connector can cause the IV set to leak, which may result in improper delivery of fluids or medications to an animal and potential loss of sterility in the fluid path.
