Covidien recalls MAHURKAR 12 Fr Triple Lumen Acute Dialysis Catheters with potential occlusion due to excessive silicone lubricant. Affected units may cause blockages or clotting if used.
Catheter center lumen was found to have an occlusion in the tip of the catheter; the source of the occlusion an excessive MDX, a silicone-based lubricant which coats the catheter tip. An occluded, partially or fully, and/or uncured or excessive MDX may dislodge from the catheter lead to full catheter obstruction resulting in delay to treatment and partial obstruction resulting in reduced flow, or particulate dislodgement that may result in delay to treatment, hemolysis, embolism/embolus or thrombosis/thrombus
