Summary derived from FDA notice
Reason for Recall
As stated by FDA
Due to partial label detachment on tubes. This can cause tubes to become stuck together in the pouch or cause automation errors when used with the automated loader for the wash assistant.
Recommended Action
Per FDA guidance
On 10/03/2022, the firm sent an "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION" Letter via FedEx tracked letters and emails informing customers, through internal investigations, the labels applied to the BD Trucount tubes are becoming detached due to an adhesive change made at a supplier. Customers are instructed to: 1. Immediately review their inventory for the specific catalog and lot numbers. 2. For any tubes where label detachment is observed, BD recommends that the clinician remove the label from the tube and, using a permanent marker, record the tube lot number as well as any other relevant information directly on the tube. Removal of the label prevents it from interfering with any auto-loading sample preparation and analysis systems, as well as from sticking to other tubes. For questions, contact North American Regional Complaint Center at: Phone: 1-844-8BD-LIFE (1-844-823-5433), Say "Recall" when prompted Mon-Fri 8:00am and 5:00pm CT or Email: productcomplaints@bd.com
