Covidien recalls urine meter trays that may not accurately measure body temperature, risking incorrect diagnoses. Affected units include specific lot numbers and sizes.
Temperature sensing catheters failed to meet the established calibrated temperature sensing tolerance of +/- 0.2¿C. Failure to correctly measure patient body temperatures could lead to an incorrect diagnosis and insufficient treatment
Covidien is recalling urine collection trays that may not measure body temperature correctly. This could lead to wrong diagnoses and inadequate treatment if the device fails to detect temperature changes properly.
The temperature sensors in these catheters may not stay within a tight calibration range (±0.2°C). This could cause inaccurate readings, potentially leading to incorrect diagnoses and insufficient treatment for patients.
Healthcare professionals and patients using the recalled urine meter trays for temperature monitoring. Those with medical conditions requiring precise temperature tracking are at higher risk.
Check for the product code P4P16TS on the tray. Look for lot numbers 1909308664, 1909320964, or 1933802964. The product is a sterile urine collection tray with a pre-connected catheter.
Identify the product code P4P16TS and lot numbers 1909308664, 1909320964, or 1933802964.
The recall indicates potential temperature measurement inaccuracies, so it is not recommended for use until the remedy is applied.
Check the product code and lot numbers to confirm if it's affected. If it is, contact the manufacturer for guidance.
Inaccurate temperature readings could lead to incorrect diagnoses and inadequate treatment, especially for patients requiring precise temperature monitoring.
