Becton Dickinson is recalling certain IV catheters because the needle might not retract properly, potentially causing complications during medical procedures. This affects patients receiving IV treatments who use the specific catheter model.
The catheter needle may retract slowly or fail to retract during use, which could lead to complications such as dislodgement or improper blood flow. This risk occurs when the catheter is inserted into a patient's vein.
Patients receiving IV treatments with the recalled catheter model are most at risk. Healthcare providers using the product for medical procedures may also be affected.
