Lack of assurance of sterility
Prodimed is recalling Combicath catheters used for mini bronchoalveolar lavage because they may not be sterile. This could lead to infections if used improperly. Affected units have specific product codes and expiry dates.
The catheters may not be sterile, which can lead to infections if used in medical procedures. This is a risk during mini bronchoalveolar lavage treatments where the catheters are inserted into the lungs.
Healthcare professionals using these catheters for medical procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving the catheters during procedures could be affected if the catheters are not sterile.
Check for the product code 58216 27US on the catheter packaging. The recall includes all lots within the expiry date.
