RIO Device contamination
We utilize the ICU Medical Rio devices and have recently been getting multiple lot numbers that have contaminated spikes, etc. Most contain a black substance on them but we have seen one with what appears to be a fabric thread. We have engaged ICU Medical and have submitted to the FDA and ISMP. Are others seeing this?
