Medical device manufacturer, Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD), has issued a medical device safety alert on BD Preset™ Arterial Blood Collection Syringe (Catalogue Number: 364314, Lot Number : 1174615).
BD is conducting a recall on the above referenced product with the specific lot number listed, as a small percentage of syringes in the lot may be incorrectly sealed. This causes adverse impacts to the unit package integrity and product sterility since the flow wrap pouch was not sealed along its length. Appropriate corrective actions have been instituted to address this condition.
According to BD, the affected products have been distributed in Hong Kong. BD and the local distributor, United Italian Corp (HK) Ltd., are recalling the affected products.
If you are in possession of the product, please contact your supplier for necessary actions.
