ICU Medical has begun a Class 1 recall of one lot of ChemoLock Vial Spikes, 20mm due to the potential for plastic particles to break off the protective cap. “In uncommon circumstances a plastic particle could enter the drug delivery system and be infused into a patient's intravenous line, which could potentially enter the patient and lead to an embolism,” a recall notice says. ChemoLock is intended to keep environmental contaminants, like bacteria and dust, out of a drug delivery system, and to prevent drug or vapor concentrations from leaking out of the system, thee notice says. To date, ICU Medical says it has not received any reports of adverse events related to the issue.
