Medline recalls specific lots of reprocessed catheters that may contain small particles causing infection or blood clots. Affected items have unique identifiers; stop using if you own one.
Specific lots of reprocessed electrophysiology and ultrasound catheters may contain small residual particulates. If devices with residual particulates on patient-contacting surfaces are used, there is a potential risk of an inflammatory response or systemic infection, and if particulate were to dislodge during use and contact circulating blood and/or the heart, it may produce a granulomatous reaction or thrombus formation, which may lead to cerebral or pulmonary embolism, or deep vein thrombosis.
Medline is recalling specific lots of reprocessed catheters that may have small particles inside. Using these could cause infections or blood clots in the heart or blood vessels. This is serious but only affects specific medical devices.
The catheters may contain small particles from reprocessing. If these particles get into the bloodstream or heart, they can cause infections, blood clots, or block blood flow, leading to serious complications.
