Becton Dickinson (BD) is recalling 26,400 units of the BD Insyte Autoguard BC Shielded IV Catheter with Blood Control Technology because the catheter tubing may contain a hole. This defect can cause fluids to leak during the catheter insertion process. These prescription devices are used by healthcare professionals to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids into a patient's peripheral vascular system.
A hole in the catheter tubing can lead to the leakage of blood or medication during insertion, which could potentially expose healthcare providers to bloodborne pathogens or result in the inadequate delivery of fluids or medication to the patient.
