B. Double Luer Lock Adapter

C. Stopcock, Clear 1-Way  w/ Male Luer Lock

Reason

Argon Medical has identified an internal manufacturing issue on the formation of the sterile seal on some of their pouched product.  Because of damage to a packaging die there is a possibility that the seal formed on the edge of the pouch may be incomplete for some product, which could result in a loss of sterility to the affected product.  As precautionary measure argon is pulling back all product packaged with that die to prevent the inadvertent use of a potentially non-sterile device.
