Medline, Abbott and more catheters recalled for embolism risk

Medline is recalling seven groups of reprocessed heart and ultrasound catheters because they may contain small particles of leftover material. If these devices are used, the particles could cause inflammation, infection, or blood clots, which may lead to embolism or deep vein thrombosis. This is an expansion of an earlier recall, and the affected catheters were distributed nationwide.
