Degania recalls nonsterile thermistor Foley catheters that may show lower body temperature than actual patient temperature during surgery or post-op care. This could lead to inaccurate temperature monitoring.
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.
