C.R. Bard Inc. is recalling approximately 12,270 SureStep and Bard Foley Catheter Trays because they contain incorrect product inserts regarding the catheter material and coatings. These errors may lead a healthcare provider to believe a catheter is made of silicone when it is actually natural rubber latex, or that it contains a different type of antimicrobial or infection control coating than provided. The recall affects SureStep Foley Tray Systems and Bard Lubri-Sil models distributed to healthcare facilities across 33 states.
Patients with latex sensitivities may suffer from localized or systemic allergic reactions if a latex catheter is mistakenly used. Additionally, confusion regarding the specific antimicrobial or infection control coating can lead to ineffective treatment and an increased risk of urinary tract infections.
