Becton Dickinson Swan-Ganz catheters recalled for leak risk

- Review the lot numbers and expiration dates provided in the FDA notice to identify affected units.
- Do not use affected catheters; consult with Becton Dickinson or the FDA for guidance on replacement or return.
- Contact your healthcare provider or hospital if a recalled catheter was already used on a patient.
