potential risk of leaks with Kangaroo enteral feeding spike sets*. The purpose of this communication is to inform you

two additional product codes of Kangaroo Connect 500ml and 1000ml bag sets to the product correction notice. The
Product Correction Notice is for all unexpired lots of the below Kangaroo enteral feeding spike sets and all lots of
Kangaroo Connect 500ml and 1000ml bag sets manufactured between July 1, 2015 and July 20, 2019. We continue
to receive complaints of leaking at the interface of the tube and spike connector, in addition to complaints of leaking
due to PVC tubing disconnecting from the cassette in Connect bag sets.
