Cardinal Health is recalling umbilical vessel catheters that may have packaging defects leading to non-sterile products. Using these catheters on neonates could cause infections, so affected users should stop using them.
The packaging defect could allow contamination, making the catheter non-sterile. If used on neonates, this increases infection risk due to the baby's fragile immune system.
Healthcare providers using the recalled umbilical catheters for neonatal care are most at risk. Parents and caregivers should check if their child's medical equipment matches the recalled model.
Check for the catalog number 8888160333 and lots 2431300157-2432600251 on the packaging. The product is an umbilical vessel catheter 3.5 French single lumen.
Look for the catalog number 8888160333 and specific lots listed in the recall notice.
If you have the recalled catheter, stop using it immediately to prevent infection risks.
