Why it was recalled

Product service credentials used by some BD technical support teams to access certain BD products were accessed by an unauthorized actor. Until these product service credentials are updated, there is a risk of unauthorized access that may impact the confidentiality, integrity and/or availability of the relevant products and associated data.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
