Why it was recalled

Catheters indicated for short-or-long term access to the central venous system have tubing that exceeded melt flow index specification (higher), which could lead to increased material fatigue leaks, which could lead to infiltration, extravasation, discomfort, phlebitis, bleeding, air embolism, foreign body embolism, infection and interruption to therapy.

Class I is the FDA’s most serious recall level: there is a reasonable probability that using this product will cause serious harm or death.
