Hazard Classification Class I
Reason for the Action ICU Medical received seven complaints involving an increased likelihood of leakage in three lots of L-70 HOTLINE Fluid Warming Sets. This problem is due to potentially inadequate solvent application at the tubing to return connector bond, with leakage occurring from an inadequate bond at this connection.

Delay of therapy may occur if a L-70 set is deemed unusable during pre-use checks, and a replacement set is not immediately available. Interruption of therapy may occur if leakage during use requires replacement of the set. Under-delivery of medication, exposure to infectious or toxic agents, and air in line, are also possible due to leakage in sets.
Instructions for Customers/Users Customers are to
- Inspect inventory and quarantine affected lots of HOTLINE Fluid Warming Sets
