MEDLINE recalls two epidural procedure kits with a connector that may not allow catheters to be inserted properly if not fully open. Affected kits have specific model numbers and lot numbers.
The connectors may not allow catheters to be inserted as intended if the connector is not in the fully open position.
MEDLINE is recalling two types of epidural procedure kits because their connectors might not allow catheters to be inserted correctly if not fully opened. This could lead to improper medical procedures during childbirth or labor.
The connectors in these kits may not stay fully open, which can prevent catheters from being inserted as intended. This could lead to improper medical procedures during labor or delivery if the connector is not properly positioned.
Healthcare providers using the recalled epidural procedure kits for labor and delivery are most at risk. Patients undergoing epidural anesthesia during childbirth may be affected if the wrong kit is used.
Check for kits labeled 'L&D CONTINUOUS EPIDURAL TRAY' with model numbers PAIN1699 or PAIN1699A. Lot numbers 22FLB063, 23BLB103, 23CLA768 for PAIN1699 and 23GLA369, 23ILA137 for PAIN1699A.
Look for model numbers PAIN1699 or PAIN1699A on the kit labels.
