What this means
Medline Convenience kits contain Swan-Ganz catheters that were recalled by manufacturer Becton Dickinson due to failures in the blue proximal injectate lumen hub. These failures can cause leaks, lumen damage, and breakage, potentially leading to infection, medication loss, or blood loss.

- Stop using affected kits immediately
- Consult with your healthcare provider or facility infection control/clinical engineering about device management and patient safety steps
