Action: Hospira sent the Urgent Device Recall letters dated 11/25/09 to their direct accounts of the affected products and requested these consignees to notify their customers of the recall. The accounts were informed that Hospira ceased manufacturing the I.V. gravity and pump administration sets with the CAIR clamp manufactured by Borla S.P.A. of Italy in March 2008, due to customer reports related to a difference in the zone of control used to adjust the flow compared to the original CAIR clamp design. To avoid the possibility of flow rate variances, Hospira is recalling all remaining sets with the Borla designed CAIR clamp. The accounts were requested to quarantine all inventory of the affected lots, complete the enclosed reply form indicating the amount of product being returned, fax a copy of the completed form to Stericycle at 1-877-377-5114, and include a copy with the returned goods to Stericycle at 2670 Executive Drive, Suite A, Indianapolis, IN 46241.

About this record

Sourced from the FDA device recall database and the FDA enforcement reports, both ingested from openFDA. The recall record supplies the product, the reason and the product code; the enforcement report supplies the classification. The two datasets are exported by FDA on different days, and the date above is the older of the two, so nothing on this page is newer than it says.

MDM adds the root cause tag, derived from FDA’s own root cause text, and the cross-links to the product code, the clearances named on the record and MDM coverage. Where a recall has not been joined to an enforcement report, no classification is shown.
