Why it was recalled

Due to a manufacturing defect IV catheter may have a hole in the septum, which may result in blood leakage from the septum during insertion, which may cause blood exposure or the need for a second IV to be placed - which may result in therapy delay.

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