Bard Access Systems recalls Groshong NXT ClearVue Catheter kits due to potential connector issues 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 Access Systems is recalling Groshong NXT ClearVue Catheter kits because the distal connector may be too narrow or deformed, causing the catheter to not pass through or lock properly. This could lead to improper catheter placement and potential complications during medical procedures.
The catheter's distal connector may have a reduced inner diameter, making it impossible to pass the catheter through. Additionally, the catch slot on the connector may be deformed, preventing proper locking. This could lead to improper catheter placement during medical procedures.
Healthcare professionals using the catheter kits for central venous catheterization are most at risk. Patients receiving these catheters may experience complications if the device doesn't function correctly.
Check for the UDI code (01)10801741035262 and lot numbers reev2091, reex1265, reew3144, redx1464, reen4697, REEP0632 on the product packaging.

The catheter's distal connector may have a reduced inner diameter or be deformed, causing it to not pass through or lock properly during use.
The recall record does not specify a remedy, so check the product details for the UDI code and lot numbers to confirm if it's affected.
