Bard Access Systems recalls Groshong NXT ClearVue Catheter with Sherlock Tip Location System due to distal connector problems that may prevent catheter insertion or proper 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 with Sherlock Tip Location System because the distal connector may be too narrow or deformed, causing the catheter to not pass through or lock properly. This could lead to failed catheter insertions or improper connections.
The catheter's distal connector may have a reduced inner diameter, making it difficult to pass the catheter through. Additionally, the catch slot on the connector may be deformed, preventing the catheter from locking securely. These issues could result in failed insertions or improper connections.
Healthcare professionals using the catheter for central venous catheterization are most likely affected. Patients receiving this catheter treatment may also be impacted if insertion fails.
