Degania Temperature Sensing Foley Catheters Recalled for Sensor Inspection Failures

Degania Medical Devices is recalling specific lots of temperature sensing Foley catheters because inadequate inspection practices were used on the thermistor sensors during production.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations, and the hazard is related to inspection practices rather than a confirmed high-risk pathogen or structural defect causing harm.
