Covidien recalls 12 Fr high pressure triple lumen dialysis catheters with potential occlusion from excessive silicone lubricant. Affected units may cause treatment delays or blood clots. Stop using immediately.
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
Covidien is recalling certain dialysis catheters that may have an occlusion (blockage) at the tip due to excessive silicone lubricant. This could cause treatment delays, reduced blood flow, or blood clots if the catheter becomes blocked.
