Reason for Recall
Incorrect expiration date of "2023-07-24" on label of sterile tubing. Correct expiration date should be "2021-07-24".
Firm Action
On 12/01/2020, the firm sent an "Urgent Field Safety Notice" to customers informing them that the human readable shelf life is: 2023-07-24, whereas the barcode printed on the label shows the correct shelf life "2021-07-24." and that there is no risk to patient if the product is used prior to 2021-07-24. Beyond this date the shelf life is expired, and the sterility of these lots cannot be assured.
Customers are instructed to:
1) Confirm that they received the Field Safety Notice by completing the Acknowledgement Form and Customer Response Form;
2) Removed from their inventory, put in quarantine and send back affected lots to their local distributor or confirm that they have destroyed affected lots.
3) Inform any health care professional with their organization that needs to be aware of the Field Safety Notice.
