Drainage Catheter Recalled Due to Incorrect Expiration Dates on Labels

Cook Incorporated is recalling 15 units of the Ultrathane Mac-Loc Locking Loop Multipurpose Drainage Catheter due to incorrect expiration dates on product labels that extend beyond the device's true expiration date. Affected units were distributed to Spain and the Netherlands.

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: FDA Class II medical device with mislabeled expiration dates on a sterile drainage catheter. No reported injuries or illnesses, but expired medical devices pose genuine risk of infection and device failure. This qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
