Medline recalls reprocessed ACUSON AcuNav ultrasound catheters with specific lots that may contain small particles causing infection or blood clots. Affected units include Medline item numbers 10135910RH and 10135936RH with lots EP240731 to EP250219.
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 reprocessed ACUSON AcuNav ultrasound catheters that may have small particles. Using these catheters could cause infections or blood clots in patients. This is serious but only affects specific lots and models.
Small particles in the catheters may cause inflammation or infection if they contact the patient. If particles dislodge and enter the bloodstream, they could form blood clots that travel to the lungs or brain.
Healthcare professionals using the reprocessed catheters for cardiac procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving these catheters during procedures could face infections or blood clots.
Check for Medline item numbers 10135910RH (GE Systems) or 10135936RH (Siemens Systems) with lots EP240731 to EP250219.
Look for lot numbers on the catheter packaging or label that match EP240731 to EP250219.
