Medline recalls procedure kits with potential catheter insertion issues due to connectors not being fully open. Affected kits include PAIN1423A, PAIN1470A, and PAIN1644 models.
The connectors may not allow catheters to be inserted as intended if the connector is not in the fully open position.
Medline is recalling three types of procedure kits that may have connectors not fully open, which could prevent catheters from being inserted correctly. This could lead to improper medical procedures if the kits are used without the connector being fully open.
The connectors in these kits may not stay in the fully open position, which can prevent catheters from being inserted as intended. This could lead to improper medical procedures if the kits are used without the connector being fully open.
Healthcare professionals using the recalled Medline procedure kits for catheter insertion procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving these procedures may be affected if the kits are used incorrectly.
