Action |
Urgent Medical Device Notification letters were sent to customers beginning 2/10/23.
In order to physically prevent device misconnections from occurring, standardized connector designs for specific medical applications have been developed in accordance with ISO-80369-5. Unetixs Vascular has adopted this standard and ceased shipment of devices, hoses and blood pressure accessories equipped with luer fittings. All new devices will ship with bayonet connectors. These new connectors are designed to help reduce the risk for medical device misconnection.
Action Items:
1. Immediately order one Bayonet Conversion Kit (BCK) per device via our website, www.unetixs.com/shop, to replace every air tubing connector on the device.
2. Complete the enclosed recall return response form. There is no need to return any product/accessories to Unetixs Vascular.
