Bard Access Systems recalls Groshong NXT ClearVue Catheter Basic Kit due to distal connector problems that may prevent proper catheter insertion or locking.
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 Basic Kits because the distal connector may 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 to pass the catheter through, and the catch slot may be deformed, preventing the catheter from locking securely. This could result in improper catheter placement during medical procedures.
Healthcare providers using the catheter for central venous catheterization are most at risk. Patients receiving this catheter as part of medical treatment may also be affected.
Check for the product name 'Groshong NXT ClearVue Catheter, Basic Kit, 4F, Single-Lumen, 60 cm' with the UDI code (01)10801741200615. The product was sold with specific lot numbers listed in the recall notice.
Verify the product name and UDI code to confirm if your catheter is part of this recall.
