Medtronic recalls 6F Launcher Guide Catheter 100cm EBU 3.75 (LA6EBU375) due to potential sterility compromise from an unsealed pouch. Affected units sold with specific lot codes.
Sterility may be compromised due to an unsealed pouch
Medtronic is recalling a specific type of medical catheter because an unsealed pouch could compromise sterility. This risk means the catheter might not be sterile when used, potentially causing infections.
The catheter's pouch may not seal properly, allowing contaminants to enter. This could lead to infections if the catheter is not sterile when used in medical procedures.
Healthcare professionals using the Medtronic 6F Launcher Guide Catheter 100cm EBU 3.75 model with lot codes 220772561 or 220772562 are affected. Patients receiving this catheter during procedures are at risk of infection.
Check for the model number LA6EBU375 on the catheter packaging. Affected units have lot codes 220772561 or 220772562.
Verify the model number (LA6EBU375) and lot codes (220772561 or 220772562) on the catheter packaging.
The recall indicates a potential sterility risk, so affected units should not be used until the remedy is applied.
Check the model number and lot codes; if they match, contact Medtronic Vascular for guidance.
Look for the model number LA6EBU375 and lot codes 220772561 or 220772562 on the packaging.
