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.

Plain-English summary
Bard Access Systems Inc. is recalling specific lots of REF 7617407, Groshong NXT ClearVue Catheter, Full Kit, 4F, Single-Lumen, 60 cm. The recall affects units with Lot Nos. redy3816, REEP1719, REEW2787, and REEX1087. These medical devices are designed for use when central venous catheterization is prescribed.
The recall was initiated because the catheters contain two potential issues. First, the inner diameter of the distal connector may be reduced, which could result in the inability to pass the catheter through the connector. Second, the catch slot on the distal connector may be deformed, resulting in the inability to properly lock the device.
The affected products were distributed worldwide and nationwide in the United States, including in states such as AK, AL, CA, CO, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MN, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, and WI. International distribution included Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Chile, Bangladesh, Korea, Brazil, India, Singapore, and Thailand. Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using the affected lots and contact Bard Access Systems for further instructions.
