Bard recalls Groshong NXT ClearVue Catheter with Sherlock 3CG Tip Positioning System due to potential distal connector issues 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 is recalling Groshong NXT ClearVue Catheters with Sherlock 3CG Tip Positioning System because the distal connector may be too narrow or deformed, making it difficult to insert the catheter or lock it securely. This could lead to improper catheter placement or disconnection during use.
The distal connector may have a reduced inner diameter that prevents the catheter from passing through it, or the catch slot may be deformed, causing the catheter to not lock properly. This could lead to improper catheter placement or disconnection during medical procedures.
Healthcare professionals using the catheter for central venous catheterization are most likely affected. Patients receiving this catheter treatment could also be impacted if the device fails to function properly.
