Reason for recall
Given the increased number of leaks reported by users, it was determined to be the appropriate course of action to notify users of the potential for the occurrence of Bicarby luer-lock leaks during manipulation of the frangible and tubing when preparing the product for use for treatment. This issue presents the potential of a slip and fall hazard associated with fluid on the floor.
Packaging recalls include wrong labels, wrong products in the wrong bottle, missing leaflets, short-filled or empty capsules and seals that fail.
