Becton Dickinson & Company is recalling the CareFusion MaxPlus Clear Needleless Connector, a device used to provide needleless access to IV lines and catheters during IV therapy. The recall affects 115,200 units with lot number 18085990 and an expiration date of August 15, 2023, distributed nationwide and in Canada.
The connector has a defect in which the valve may remain recessed and not fully close after a luer is disconnected, either temporarily or permanently. If the valve fails to close completely and this goes undetected, patients face risks of blood loss and air embolism, with particular concern for newborn patients. The manufacturer's record does not specify a remedy for affected consumers.
