What the authority reported

The manufacturer determined through testing that non-dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyl acids (PCBAs) could leach from the stay•safe catheter extension, which are manufactured using peroxide cross-linked silicone tubing. Please note that PCBAs are chemically different from polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which were not identified. To date, no complaints have been received related to PCBAs. PCBA levels decrease with shorter stay•safe catheter extension and decrease over the treatment time. Recall start date: February 20, 2024

What to do

Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
