Bayer Recalls Source Administration Sets for Medrad Intego PET Infusion System

The Medrad Intego PET Infusion System controls and delivers medications during nuclear medicine procedures used in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, thyroid disease, and heart disease. In November 2016, Bayer instituted a recall of Source Administration Sets used with the system after determining that the sets may produce a particulate matter in the medicine vials. The particulates may be created when the tip of the needle pushes through the rubber top of the vial. If particulate matter is allowed to enter a patient, serious adverse health consequences, including infection, damage of tissue, and death, may occur. The FDA designated Bayer’s action a Class II recall in January 2017.

The Source Administration Sets included in the Medrad Intego PET Infusion System recall were distributed between October 9, 2008 to October 11, 2016. Healthcare providers have been instructed to immediately discontinue  use and quarantine any unused affected product. Providers may then either:

• Retain the quarantined sets to be used when a new qualified in-line filter is received.
• Contact Bayer Customer Care at 1-800-633-7231 opt. 2 to arrange return of the product to the company.

Healthcare providers and patients should report adverse events or side effects related to the Medrad Intego PET Infusion System recall to the FDA’s MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program.
