Xcela PICC catheter mislabeled with incorrect size designation
Angiodynamics is recalling Xcela PICC catheters where units labeled as 5F are actually 4F. The labeling discrepancy between labeled and actual product size could affect clinical device selection.
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: This is a Class II labeling error where the catheter size designation does not match the actual product specifications. No injuries or illnesses have been reported. The mislabeling of a medical device specification falls under the criterion of minor labeling errors.
