REASON:

Biomet Biologics, Inc. has received a Medical Device Recall initiated by the original equipment manufacturer of 30mL sterile syringes, Becton and Dickinson ("BD"). This syringe is included in a certain number of Biomet Biologic's GPS, GPS II, Plasmax, and Recover GPS II kits for use in the processing of autologous blood. BD's recall states that this action was initiated due to the unit label on a limited number of syringes was incorrect, citing 20mL size. All other levels of labeling and the product itself are correct, identifying the product as 30mL. This incorrect 20mL unit package has not been fully qualified for the 30mL size and it could potentially result in issues with package integrity and sterility maintenance.

The information in this listing reflects CBER's best efforts to communicate information that has been reported to FDA. Its accuracy and comprehensiveness cannot be guaranteed.
