Medline is recalling convenience kits containing Swan-Ganz catheters due to leaks and breakage of the proximal injectate lumen hub, which may cause infection, medication loss, or blood loss.
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 classified this as Class II, and the hazard involves risk of serious harm (infection, blood loss) from a defective medical device where failures have already been reported. Although no specific illnesses are documented in this notice, the medical device defect with reported complaints meets the High severity threshold.
