Reason for Recall

Bayer has determined that all current Source Administration Sets (SAS) used with the Medrad Intego Pet Infusion System may produce particulates in radiopharmaceutical (RP) vials when the needle is inserted.

Firm Action

Bayer mailed an Urgent Medical Device Field Safety Notice dated November 3. 2017 to affected customers to inform them of the issue. Customers were asked to immediately quarantine unused product and resume use once the qualified in-line filter is received or to request a RGA (Return Goods Authorization) number to return the product. Customers were asked to complete the response form indicating if their institution does or does not have affected product and return the form via fax to 1-412-406-0941. Customers with questions were instructed to contact the Customer Care team at 1-800-633-7231, opt 2. For questions regarding this recall call 412-767-2400. On December 5, 2016, the recalling firm sent a new letter indicating the inline filter has been successfully tested and that they have qualified a compatible in-line filter to be used with the Patient Administrative Set (PAS) that will allow you to resume use of your Intego system.
