Medline recalls convenience kits with Swan-Ganz catheters that may leak or break, risking infection or blood loss. Affected kits include Germantown and University CABG models.
Kits contain Swan-Ganz catheters recalled by Becton Dickinson (BD). BD has received complaints of leaks/breakage involving failures of the (blue) proximal injectate lumen hub on these catheters. This has led to instances of leakage, lumen damage, and breakage, and may lead to infection, medication loss, and/or blood loss.
