Bard Access Systems recalls Groshong NXT ClearVue Catheter Basic Kits due to potential connector issues that may prevent catheter passage or proper locking. Affected kits have specific UDI codes and lot numbers listed in the recall.
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 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 difficult to pass the catheter through. Additionally, the catch slot on the connector may be deformed, preventing the catheter from locking securely in place. This could lead to improper catheter placement during medical procedures.
Healthcare professionals using the catheter kits for central venous catheterization are most likely affected. Patients receiving these catheters would be at risk if the kit is used incorrectly due to the connector issues.
Check for the UDI code (01)10801741086998 on the product label. The affected kits have specific lot numbers listed in the recall, including reds4650 through redw4042 and other codes.
