Smiths Medical has recalled (Class 1) its ProPort Plastic Venous Access System because the device’s plastic port housing and port reservoir may separate due to a manufacturing defect. According to a [recall notice](https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfres/res.cfm?id=212501&ref=fdaweb.com). FDA has determined that the defect is related to the firm’s process controls. Last month, the company sent a letter to consignees advising them to discontinue using affected devices and stop their distribution. The implantable device is intended to provide long-term access to the bloodstream for administering medications, fluids, and nutritional solutions.
