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. Please note that this recall
Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
