What the authority reported
CHS has been made aware of some concerns related to the above products where some hospitals/facilities protocols involve the use of alcohol or alcohol-based drugs on the drainage tube (specifically, the luer lock connector). It has been determined that when the connector is exposed to alcohol there is sensitivity to the material potentially resulting in cracking and leakage of the connector during use.
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.
