Why it was recalled

After disconnection of a luer, the valve of the connector remains recessed; not fully closing, either temporarily or permanently. The risks of blood loss and air embolism exist if the valve remains permanently open and goes undetected, especially in the neonate population.

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

What was recalled
