Reason

Notification  due to a component manufacturer recall on the one-link needle-less connector where there is concern that more than expected force is required to create a secure connection and avoid unintentional disconnections. Insufficient connection and tightening force may lead to disconnection. Manufacturer has noted that when the one-link connectors are swabbed as instructed in the IFU, the applied antiseptic reduces the force required to achieve a secure connection.
