Reason for Recall
Product is being recalled because the combination of the current 50 mg vial, the 2008 MeDS pump, and the 2008 MeDS pump tubing Set for CombiSet Bloodlines can lead to a situation where Venofer(R) delivery does not meet dosage accuracy requirements. This may lead to a slight over or under delivery of Venofer(R) that does not pose an acceptable risk to the patient.
