The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an early safety alert regarding Cardinal Health Presource Kits that contain recalled BD Alaris Pump Infusion Sets. The agency has advised that these kits require correction prior to continued clinical use in healthcare facilities.
The affected Presource Packs are distributed through Cardinal Health and contain infusion delivery components that have been identified for recall. Healthcare providers using these kits are advised to identify affected inventory immediately and halt use until corrective measures have been implemented by manufacturers and distributors.
Cardinal Health and BD have been notified and are coordinating with the FDA on distribution of corrected units. Healthcare facilities should verify their current inventory against FDA recall lists and contact their Cardinal Health representatives for guidance on replacement or corrective procedures. This is a developing story.
