BD recalls

BD Switzerland has recalled multiple models of Alaris Pump Infusion Sets due to discrepancies in performance data attributes. These discrepancies may cause the infusion pump to operate inappropriately. No injuries have been reported.

BD is recalling specific lots of its Intraosseous Vascular Access System Needle Sets because some users have had difficulty removing the obturator (stylet) after needle placement. The affected needle sets were manufactured with out-of-tolerance dimensions and distributed between September 2024 and June 2026. If the obturator cannot be removed, clinicians may need to obtain alternative vascular access, potentially delaying urgent care.

BD Switzerland inadvertently shipped 50 engineering sample units of the Medline 111 Gravity Set with 3 Needle Free Y-Sites into the U.S. market. These units were labeled "Not for Human Use" and were not intended for patient care. No injuries have been reported.

BD Connecta BD Luer-Lok 360 stopcocks used to administer IV fluids and medications may have a connection problem at Port C. When a plastic luer-lok syringe is attached, the connection may over-thread or continue spinning instead of tightening securely, making it feel unstable.

BD is recalling specific lots of ChloraPrep Clear 1 mL and FREPP Clear 1.5 mL skin preparation applicators due to potential fungal contamination (Aspergillus penicillioides) that could grow under certain environmental conditions. The affected products were distributed to hospitals and medical distributors between March and June 2024.
