"Combat Medical is recalling the convenience kits because the needle in the blood pack may bend or disconnect from the blood bag" FDA (2021).
“Combat Medical is recalling the convenience kits because the needle in the blood pack may bend or disconnect from the blood bag. The possible needle damage only occurs during the packaging process before being received by the user. However, a user will not be able to identify if the needle is damaged until the pack has been opened for use.”
