Change:

  • The supplier Vygon UK Ltd has informed us of a supply issue with its Extension Set products.
  • One product is affected:
    • FSB1360 – Y Extension set polyethylene lined PVC 165cm x 1mm id with anti syphon and anti reflux valves and pinch clamp a loop and retaining clip.
  • The supply issue is due to supplier manufacturing issues.
  • Due to this ongoing supply issue this product is now being threshold managed as it is subject to Protect Demand Management.

Impact:

  • FSB1360 is available to order through NHS Supply Chain. However, trusts are allocated a maximum daily quantity or “threshold” to ensure fair supply of available stock across the NHS.
  • Potential indirect alternative products are available to order through our online catalogue.
  • If indirect alternatives FSW323 or FSB1079 are selected, either product must be used in conjunction with FSB1361.
  • See our Downloads ▼ section to access the product listing for further information on the affected product code and potential alternatives.
  • The supply issue is anticipated to be resolved by 22 August 2025.

Next Steps:

  • The continuing supply issue is being monitored in conjunction with the supplier and we will continue to review the stock situation to minimise further disruption and update this ICN with the latest information as it becomes available.
  • If you have any further questions, please contact your local NHS Supply Chain Customer Services Advisor.
