The letters informed the accounts that the tubing can separate from the set at the filter inlet post due to an inadequate solvent bond. The accounts were requested to examine their inventory for the affected lot, quarantine any found and call Hospira Customer Care at 1-877-946-7747 to arrange for return of the product for replacement.
