FDA says B. Braun has recalled 22 lots of blood administration sets. The recall is due to potential for leakage at the joint between the blood filters and tubing, an FDA [statement](https://www.fda.gov/inspections-compliance-enforcement-and-criminal-investigations/press-releases/individual-indicted-and-arrested-illegally-producing-and-shipping-adulterated-and-misbranded-animal?ref=fdaweb.com) says. The agency says the recalled sets are used to administer blood from a container to a patient’s vascular system through an IV catheter inserted into a vein or central venous catheter.

B. Braun identified through complaints and internal discrepancies the potential for leakage at the joint between the blood filters and tubing of the sets, FDA says. To date there have no reports of serious injury or death, according to the agency.

A total of 43,026 units of the recalled sets were manufactured between 6/11 and 8/23 and distributed between 6/11 and 9/27.
