HydroPICC Catheter Kits Recalled for Expiration Date Mislabeling

240 units of HydroPICC 4Fr Single Lumen Catheter Maximal Barrier Kits are being recalled because the catheter's actual expiration date is shorter than the date printed on the outer package.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Risk-of-harm medical device recall with no reported injuries. Expiration date discrepancy on a sterile catheter creates potential for use beyond the safe window, posing infection risk. FDA Class II classification and mislabeling of critical safety information (expiration dating) justifies High severity.
