Supply Issues Greiner Bio-One Ltd Blood Collection Products Regulatory Inform (ICN 2802)

Important Customer Notice Supply Issues

Ref: 2025/2802 ICN Number: 2802

Change:

  • The supplier Greiner Bio-one Ltd has issued a letter to customers having secured a derogation from the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for a range of their products.
  • Due to an unforeseen administrative error during the transition to MDR certification there was a brief interruption to the validity of the CE mark for certain Greiner Bio-One products and as such these lines were suspended from supply to the market.
  • The derogation allows supply of these products to resume.
  • Please review the official Greiner Bio-One Ltd communication attached for more information.

Impact:

  • 42 product codes are affected in total.
  • The affected products are available to order through our online catalogue; however, some products may experience intermittent supply whilst we rebuild stock.
  • Two of the affected products are currently suspended and unavailable to order:
    • FNG85010 – Blood Collection Set Safety 21G
    • KFK1292 – Blood Collection Set Safety 23G.
  • Potential indirect alternative products are available to order through our online catalogue.
  • See our Downloads ▼ section to access the product listing for further information on the affected product codes and potential alternatives.
  • We currently do not have a resolution date and will update this ICN when we have further information.
