What the authority reported
BD has received complaints, and confirmed through internal inspection that stains are present on the surface of the affected SILASTIC® catheters. The cause of the stains was determined to be an increased amount of a raw material used in the manufacturing process. This raw material may be harmful if present in increased amounts on the surface of the catheter.
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.
