Cardinal Health 200, LLC has recalled 124,918 Umbilical Vessel Catheter (UVC) products, including single, dual, and triple lumen catheters as well as insertion trays. The recall was issued because a packaging defect may compromise the sterile seal of the product. The catheters are typically used in neonatal patients, and if a non-sterile device is used, it could lead to serious or life-threatening infections. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date.
A packaging defect can allow the sterile environment inside the catheter pouch to be breached. Use of a non-sterile medical device in newborns can introduce pathogens directly into the bloodstream, posing a high risk of infection and serious medical complications.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
