Bard recalls Groshong NXT ClearVue Catheter with Sherlock Tip Location System due to distal connector problems that may prevent catheter passage or proper locking. 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 is recalling Groshong NXT ClearVue Catheter with Sherlock Tip Location System because the distal connector might not allow the catheter to pass through or lock properly. This could lead to improper catheter placement during medical procedures.
The distal connector's inner diameter may be too small, making it difficult to pass the catheter through. Additionally, the catch slot might deform, preventing the cath: catheter from locking securely in place.
Healthcare professionals using the catheter for central venous catheterization are most likely affected. Patients receiving this catheter treatment may also be impacted.
Check for the UDI code (01)10801741036009 on the product label. Affected units were sold with specific lot numbers: reep1720, redy0653, REEN1127, REEN1905, reeq0634, rees0249, reet2073, reev1213, reew4243.
Look for the UDI code (01)10801741036009 on the catheter packaging or label.
The distal connector may have an inner diameter too small to pass the catheter through or a deformed catch slot that prevents proper locking.
