  • Reason
    During production we observed in an isolated case that a female luer connector was not fully connected to the extension line of the certofix catheter. upon further intensive testing, we could identify the root cause of the defect and are able to limit a possible occurrence of the failure to the below listed product/batch combinations. the failure appears only at white and yellow luer connectors and occurs at a very low rate. the failure can be identified by the user. a disconnection of the luer connector from the extension line has the potential to cause air embolism and other serious patient harm. we therefore advise to discontinue usage of the affected product/batch combinations or - in case of an undersupply situation - identify potentially affected products according to the below described procedure. .
