Bard Access Systems recalls Groshong NXT ClearVue Catheter kits 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 Access Systems is recalling Groshong NXT ClearVue Catheter kits because the distal connector may not allow the catheter to pass through or lock properly. This could lead to improper catheter placement during medical procedures.
The distal connector's inner diameter may be too small, making it difficult to pass the catheter through. Additionally, the catch slot may deform, preventing the catheter from locking securely in place.
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.
