What the authority reported
Medline Industries, LP has initiated a recall on convenience kits containing NEXUS™ Connectors A-EP-081 and A-EP-424 from Epimed International Inc. The connectors may not allow catheters to be inserted as intended if the connector is not in the fully open position. If the defect is not detected before use, there is a risk of medication leakage. Additionally, if the defect goes unnoticed, there is a risk of the catheter connector disconnecting during use. Recall start date: October 25, 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.
