Plain-English summary
Reprocessed ViewFlex Xtra ICE Catheters, used to visualise cardiac structures, blood flow and other devices within the heart, are being recalled. The devices carry Medline item number D087031RH.
Specific lots of reprocessed electrophysiology and ultrasound catheters may contain small residual particulates. If a device with residual particulates on patient-contacting surfaces is used, there is a potential risk of an inflammatory response or systemic infection. If particulate were to dislodge during use and contact circulating blood or the heart, it may produce a granulomatous reaction or thrombus formation, which may lead to cerebral or pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis.
The recall covers 7,913 units carrying UDI-DI 10197344019557, across lots including EP240731, EP240814, EP240826, EP240903, EP240916 and EP241003. The product was distributed nationwide in the United States. The FDA has classified the recall as Class I.
Cardiac catheterisation and electrophysiology labs should identify affected lots and follow Medline's instructions for returning or quarantining stock.
