West Pharmaceutical Services has recalled its Vial2Bag fluid transfer system that was manufactured between 3/15/2016 and 1/8/2019 due to the possibility that the device may not adequately transfer concentrated medication from a vial to an IV bag before infusion into a patient’s vein. If inadequate transfer occurs, the drug delivered to the patient may have unpredictable dosing, which means that a patient may be infused with an overdose or under-dose of medication, a [recall notice](https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ListofRecalls/ucm630325.htm?utm%5Fcampaign=FDA%20MedWatch%20Recall%20Notice%20-%20Vial2Bag%20Fluid%20Transfer%20Systems%20by%20West%20Pharmaceutical%20Services&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fsource=Eloqua) says. FDA has received 16 adverse event reports related to the use of the 13mm device with oxytocin in pregnant women who were in labor, it says.
