Reason for Recall

Bayer HealthCare is recalling all MEDRAD(R) Continuum MF Infusion System tubing sets (macrobore and microbore), catalog numbers MIK200A, MIL 200B, 3015153, 3015155, 3015156, 3015157, 3015158, 3015159, and 3015161. The firm is initiating this recall because this tubing exhibits a variation that, when used in conjunction with any Continuum pump, may result in flow rate accuracy performance issues.

Firm Action

The firm, Bayer HealthCare, sent an "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE RECALL" letter dated April 17, 2012 via the USPS certified mail to its consignees/customers.
