BD advises recall of sodium chloride ampules in convenience kits after Huons Co. issue

The FDA issued an Early Alert after Becton Dickinson (BD) sent a letter to customers about a potential high‑risk device issue. The alert concerns convenience kits and procedural trays that contain sodium chloride ampules recalled by Huons Co., Ltd.

BD recommends that users do not use the sodium chloride ampules in the affected kits, quarantine the kits, and apply over‑labels to identify them. All other components in the kits can continue to be used safely.

Customers should secure an alternative source of sodium chloride before entering the procedural environment, open the kit, remove and destroy the recalled ampule, and then proceed with the remaining components.
