China NMPA Product Recall - Disposable needlestick-proof indwelling intravenous catheter

The National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) announced on November 23, 2020, that Becton Dickinson Infusion Therapy Systems, Inc. initiated a voluntary Class III recall for certain disposable needle-proof indwelling catheters. The company reported this action on November 20, 2020, due to a potential "blunt needle" issue identified in specific product models and batches. This issue could compromise the intended function of the device, prompting the manufacturer to take corrective action. The recall falls under the regulatory oversight of the NMPA, which governs medical device safety and effectiveness. Becton Dickinson Infusion Therapy Systems, Inc. has provided detailed information regarding the affected products, including models, specifications, and batch numbers, in a "Medical Device Recall Event Report Form." This voluntary recall emphasizes the company's commitment to maintaining product quality and patient safety standards, consistent with NMPA regulations, to address and mitigate any potential risks associated with the identified manufacturing defect.
