What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class I recall of a medical device with serious potential harms explicitly described: granulomatous reactions, thrombus formation, and risk of cerebral, pulmonary, or deep vein embolism. Class I classification by the FDA agency itself mandates a minimum score of 4 per the rubric.
Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling specific lots of reprocessed electrophysiology and ultrasound catheters, including St. Jude Medical Response Diagnostic Electrophysiology Catheter models (Item no. 401206RH and 401305RH, Lot EP250203). The devices may contain small particles of residual material on patient-contacting surfaces.
If these catheters with residual particles are used in clinical procedures, there is a potential risk of an inflammatory response or systemic infection. If particulate material dislodges during use and contacts circulating blood or the heart, it may produce a granulomatous reaction or blood clot formation, which may lead to cerebral embolism, pulmonary embolism, or deep vein thrombosis.
The devices have been distributed nationwide in Texas. Patients and healthcare providers who have received or used these catheters should contact their physician or Medline Industries regarding return or replacement. Healthcare facilities should review their inventory and discontinue use of affected lot numbers.
