Epimed International recalls sterile NEO-KATH Epidural Catheter Set (REF 200-2430) due to potential stylet protrusion. Affected units have specific lot numbers and expiration dates.
Potential for stylet to protrude from the distal end of the catheter
Epimed International is recalling their sterile NEO-KATH Epidural Catheter Set (reference 200-2430) because the stylet might stick out of the catheter. This could cause complications during epidural procedures if not properly managed.
The stylet can protrude from the distal end of the catheter during use, potentially causing injury or complications if it is not properly secured. This risk is specific to the catheter set design and handling during epidural administration.
Healthcare professionals using the catheter set for epidural procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving epidural anesthesia may also be affected if the stylet protrudes.
Check for the reference number 200-2430 on the catheter set. Affected units have lot numbers 16308275 (expires August 2022) or 16308382 (expires October 2022).
