  • Reason
    The perifix catheter connector is a connection device used by clinicians to provide various anaesthetic and fluid administration devices with a single, common access point to a catheter for delivery of anaesthetics. in the course of our regular post market surveillance activities we have found that the perifix catheter connector may not remain closed during use. in some cases this has led to leakage or disconnection of the catheter from the perifix catheter connector. while no serious injuries to patients, users, or third parties have been reported to date, there is a possibility of contamination of the catheter or delay of anaesthesia of different severity.
