Power-Trialysis Slim-Cath Dialysis Catheters Recalled by Bard Access Systems
Bard Access Systems is recalling Power-Trialysis Slim-Cath short-term dialysis catheters due to lidocaine ampoules manufactured under deficient manufacturing practices. The recall affects multiple product models distributed nationwide and internationally.
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: The FDA classified this as a Class II recall. The source text identifies a manufacturing deficiency but does not report any hospitalizations, injuries, or illnesses. This qualifies as a moderate-severity recall under the rubric criteria for Class II recalls without reported adverse health consequences.
