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 failed catheter placements or complications during medical procedures.
The catheter's distal connector may have a reduced inner diameter, making it difficult to pass the catheter through. Additionally, the catch slot might be deformed, preventing the connector from locking securely. This could result in failed catheter placements or complications during medical procedures.
Healthcare professionals using the catheter kits for central venous catheterization are most likely affected. Patients receiving these catheters may also be impacted if the device fails to function correctly.
Check for the UDI code (01)10801741035248 on the product label. Affected kits include specific lot numbers: redy3816, REEP1719, REEW2787, REEX1087.
