Bard Access Systems recalls Groshong NXT ClearVue Catheter intermediate kits due to connector problems that may prevent catheter insertion. Affected units have specific UDI codes and lot numbers.
Catheters contain two issues: 1. the inner diameter of the distal connector may be reduced resulting in inability to pass the catheter through the connector and 2. the catch slot on the distal connecter may be deformed resulting in the inability to properly lock
Bard Access Systems is recalling Groshong NXT ClearVue Catheter intermediate kits because the distal connector may be too small or deformed, making it impossible to insert the catheter properly. This could lead to failed procedures and potential complications.
The distal connector's inner diameter may be too small, preventing catheter passage. The catch slot may deform, causing the connector to not lock securely. Both issues could lead to failed catheter insertions or complications during procedures.
Healthcare professionals using the catheter for central venous catheterization are most likely affected. Patients receiving this catheter treatment may also be impacted if the procedure fails.
Check for the UDI code (01)10801741045094 and lot numbers redx4723 or REEU3251 on the product label. The catheter is part of the Groshong NXT ClearVue intermediate kit, 4F, Single-Lumen, 60 cm.
Look for the UDI code (01)10801741045094 and lot numbers redx4723 or REEU3251 on the catheter kit.
The distal connector may have a reduced inner diameter or a deformed catch slot, preventing proper catheter insertion during procedures.
The official recall notice does not specify a remedy or action steps beyond checking the product label for the UDI code and lot numbers.
The recall indicates potential issues with connector function, so it is not recommended for use until the product is verified as safe.
