On 2/24/2016 during post sterilization inspection of part number F180 Precision Flow Rate Tubing, Lot number 1.042/16 the firm found 701 out of 3,195 were rejected due to visual defect, gap in the supplier s manufacturing seal for Part number #317036 5 X 6.5 ST Bag Combo. the firm decided to recall Precision Flow Rate Tubing and RMS HIgH-Flo Subcutaneous Safety Needles Sets due to the sterile barrier packaging being found to have gaps during post-sterilization inspection of one lot of flow tubing, in which 701 out of 3,195 units were rejected for not passing inspection. The firm determined that the issue was large than just the one lot and recalled the product via March 10, 2016 Voluntary Medical Device Corrections and Removal Notification to customers.
