MedComp is recalling certain double lumen CRRT/ABP catheter sets and hemodialysis catheter insertion kits because their suture wings can crack or break. This could lead to catheter dislocation, bleeding, or air emboli in patients. The recall has received six complaints with no reported serious injuries.
The suture wings in the catheter sets can crack or break during use. If this happens, it may cause the catheter to dislocate, leading to bleeding or air emboli in the patient.
Healthcare professionals using the recalled catheter sets for hemodialysis or CRRT treatments are most at risk. Patients receiving these procedures may experience complications if the catheter dislocates.
