Inability for the guidewire to pass through the needles included with the catheter kits.
ICU Medical is recalling specific central venous catheters because the guidewire often won't pass through the needles included with the kits. This could lead to improper use during medical procedures, potentially causing complications for patients.
The catheter kits include needles that don't allow the guidewire to pass through properly. This can cause the catheter to be misplaced during insertion, leading to potential complications like incorrect placement or infection.
Healthcare professionals using the recalled catheters for hemodynamic monitoring are most at risk. Patients receiving these catheters may experience complications if the catheter is not properly placed.
Check for model number 41401-23 with lot numbers 4155346, 4174851, 4192312, or 4330851. These catheters were sold with specific serial numbers ending in 04409 8.
