Degania recalls sterile Foley catheters with temperature sensors that may display lower body temperature than actual patient temperature during surgery or post-op care. Affected models include specific catalogue numbers and serials.
The catheters are suspected to contain defective sensors; if used, defective catheter will show lower body temperature than the actual body temperature of a patient.
