BD MaxGuard Flow Controller Extension Set recalled for mislabeled expiration dates
CAREFUSION is recalling BD MaxGuard Flow Controller Extension Sets because product labels show expiration year 2027 instead of 2025. Using expired sets risks product integrity failure and potential patient infection.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is theoretical: expired product may develop leaks and pose infection risk, but actual harm has not yet been documented. Per the severity rubric, risk-of-harm products without reported injury fall under the High category.
Plain-English summary
CAREFUSION is recalling 37,550 units of the BD MaxGuard Flow Controller Extension Set with Needleless Y-Site (REF: MFS141) distributed across 26 U.S. states. The affected product is identified by UDI-DI 10885403236471 and includes lots 22029167, 22029168, and 22029169.
The product labels list an incorrect expiration year of 2027, when the expiration year should be 2025. This labeling discrepancy creates a significant risk: if expired product is used, the set's integrity may be compromised.
When integrity is compromised, the product may develop leaks and pose a risk of infection to both patients and healthcare workers. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date.
Healthcare facilities should immediately discontinue use of affected lots and return the product to CAREFUSION. Healthcare providers should verify lot numbers against the recall to ensure affected product is removed from clinical use.
