Medline intermittent latex catheter recalled for connector detachment and surface defects
Medline latex catheter recalled for connector detachment risk
Medline identified quality issues in its 14 Fr intermittent latex catheter with pre-connected collection bag. Problems include rough spots on the catheter surface, connectors that may detach prematurely, and some catheters that don't meet size specifications.
- Stop using the catheter if you have product number URO4RR14C
- Contact your healthcare provider or Medline for a replacement or alternative
- Check the product number on your catheter packaging to confirm if it is affected
During an internal review, Medline identified representative samples did not meet applicable performance specifications. Identified issues include irregularities in catheter surface finish, instances where the catheter connector detached prematurely from the catheter funnel, and limited cases where the catheter outer diameter did not meet specification.
