Affected infusion sets labeled as free of DEHP actually do contain di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP).

Recommended Action

Per FDA guidance

BD sent initial letters for this recall on October 11, 2023. A second notification was made available to customers on November 1, 2023 providing customers with additional information related to risk and recommended customer actions. In addition, the customer notification identified one additional product code that is in scope of this advisory. BD has identified that the infusion sets listed in Appendix 1 of the customer notification contain di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and have not been labelled accordingly. This could lead to the potential risk of DEHP exposure that may have short-term and long-term harmful effects. BD recommends using DEHP-free devices when specified by drug manufacturers. For devices in-situ with patients requiring a DEHP-free treatment, BD instructs to cease use and an alternate treatment or device be sourced. BD will be updating the labelling for these devices to state Contains or presence of phthalate: DEHP. Circulate this notice to all who need to be aware within your organization and to any organization affected devices have been further distributed to. Return the customer response from to BD whether or not you have any of the impacted material. Report any issues experienced with these devices to BD as a complaint as per your normal process.
