Medrad Intego PET Infusion System Recall

The Medrad Intego PET Infusion System is used in nuclear medicine procedures to administer medications and IV flushing solutions. In January 2017, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration announced a Class II recall for Bayer-manufactured Source Administration Sets used with the system. According to the agency, the sets could cause the production of particulate matter when the tip of the needle pushes through the rubber top of the medicine vial.  If this occurs, the particulate matter could enter into the patient and cause serious adverse health consequences including infection, damage of tissue, and death.

The Source Administration Sets affected by this recall were distributed between October 9, 2008 to October 11, 2016. The FDA notice did not indicate if the recalled products had been associated with any adverse events.
