Incomplete seals on sterile product
Stryker is recalling BARD EP XT Steerable catheters due to incomplete seals on the sterile product. This could lead to infections during medical procedures if the catheter is used improperly.
Incomplete seals on the sterile product could allow contaminants to enter the catheter during use. This increases the risk of infection for patients during medical procedures.
Healthcare professionals using the catheter for electrophysiology procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving the catheter during medical treatments may be affected if the seal is incomplete.
Check for the product number 200794 and lot numbers listed in the recall notice. The catheter is used in electrophysiology procedures and sold under the BARD brand.
