Reason for recall
Needle-free connector valves, either standalone or attached to extension sets, may have issues including difficulty to flush, flow issues, and partial or total occlusions, which could lead to therapy delay. Follow-up activates not required if product has already been used or was safely connected to the female luer of connecting device.
Lead and other heavy metals accumulate in the body. Children are most at risk; even low levels can affect development.
