Becton Dickinson recalls intraosseous needle sets after fatal failures

Becton Dickinson intraosseous needle set recall obturator FDA

Becton Dickinson announced a recall of certain lots of its intraosseous needle sets used for emergency intravenous access in the United States after reports that the obturator (stylet) could not be removed after insertion.

The affected devices were shipped between September 30, 2024 and June 12, 2026. The company has received 75 complaints, including 45 reports of serious injury, and four patients died when the obturator could not be removed during resuscitation for cardiac arrest outside a hospital.

The recall does not cover the powered driver used to insert the needles. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been notified, and clinicians are advised to use a new needle or switch to an alternative method such as a peripheral IV catheter if removal fails.
