Urgent Field Safety Notice
Name of the affected product: SelectiCure® L 19
FSCA-identifier: FSN 2016-01
Type of action: voluntary recall
Date: October 181h, 2016
Attention: 3M Customers
3M is conducting a voluntary recall (Field Safety Corrective Action) of the SelectiCure L19 hemofilters. This
. voluntary recall is a precautionary measure. No incidents from the market have been reported.

Description of the problem:
Expiry dates are based upon product performance. The SelectiCure L19 is Iabeiied as having 3 year shelf life due
to first evaluation of data after three years of accelerated aging. Real-time and accelerated aging tests have been
started simultaneously. Results from 3 year real-time aging studies are completed and show that the results are out
of specification for the albumin sieving coefficient.
The defined shelf life of three years can therefore not be supported by this data.
Potential hazard and risk for the patient:
An out of specification result for albumin permeability may be associated with either hypoalbuminemia or with reduced
efficacy of the filter.
· Action to be taken by the user:
1.
Piease check your inventory for the product and Iot numbers affected by this voluntary recall (see table
