Covidien recalls Palindrome Precision H Chronic Catheter Kits with potential heparin coating defects. These kits may not provide intended anticoagulant benefits, risking clot formation during hemodialysis procedures.
Products may not be heparin coated as indicated on the label-leads to a potential loss of benefit due to the absence of the heparin coating
Covidien is recalling certain Palindrome Precision H Chronic Cath: 14.5 Fr/Ch (4.8mm) x 23 cm catheter kits because they may not have the heparin coating labeled on the product. This could lead to clot formation during dialysis treatments, reducing the effectiveness of the treatment.
The catheter kits may not have the heparin coating as indicated on the label. Heparin is an anticoagulant that prevents blood clots. Without proper coating, the catheter may clot during dialysis, potentially causing complications in treatment.
