Medline Convenience kits with recalled Swan-Ganz catheters for proximal hub leakage risk
What this means
Medline's 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, which may result in infection, medication loss, or blood loss.
- If your facility received affected kits (lots 24EBL051, 24GBG271, 24ALA227, 24BLA369, 24CLA108, 24CLA518, 24DLA082, 24ELB053, or 24ILA112), stop using them immediately.
- Contact Medline or Becton Dickinson for instructions on returning or disposing of the affected catheters.
- Review patient records to identify any patients who may have received these catheters and assess for potential complications.
