- Intraosseous Vascular Access System Needle Sets
Company announcement
BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) is voluntarily recalling specific lots of BD® Intraosseous Vascular Access System Needle Sets nationwide, announced on July 31, 2026.
The recall is due to reports of difficulty removing the obturator (stylet) after placement of the needle set, which can delay therapy initiation.
This malfunction has resulted in 75 complaints, 45 serious injury reports, and 4 reported deaths through June 2026.
Affected products were distributed between September 30, 2024, and June 12, 2026.
Risk:
If the obturator cannot be removed, the clinician may need to obtain a new IO needle or alternative vascular access device, such as a Peripheral IV catheter, potentially delaying therapy initiation. Patients at greatest risk are critically ill individuals requiring urgent vascular access, including out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and severe trauma patients. Delays to therapy initiation may result in serious injury or death. Through June 2026, BD has received 75 complaints and reported 45 serious injury reports. BD has also reported 4 deaths in which the inability to remove the stylet occurred during resuscitation efforts for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests.
