- Summary: BD Medical Devices (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Becton Dickinson and Company, initiated a voluntary Level I recall, reported by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) on February 21, 2017. This recall pertained to specific batches of Disposable Sterile Injection Needles and Disposable Sterile Syringes with Needles, including various Eclipse
	
™ models. The core issue identified was the potential for the protective covers on these devices to detach, exposing the needle and consequently increasing the risk of needlestick injuries. Reports from North American customers indicated that the protective shield might detach when activated, with an initial "click" sound not always signifying a secure lock. Although no related complaints were reported in China, the company implemented a global recall. In response, BD Medical Devices informed all customers via written communication about the issue and crucially recommended that users continue to use the products but strictly adhere to the provided instructions for use. This involved ensuring immediate activation of the protective shield post-injection, verifying complete needle tip coverage, and properly discarding any malfunctioning devices in a sharps container to mitigate risks.
