Civco Medical Instruments Co. Inc. has recalled 506 boxes of the BX2 Needle Guide, specifically Part Number 644-094. This tool is used during ultrasound procedures to guide needles or catheters. The recall was issued because the needle guide fits too tightly on the ultrasound probe, which can cause a tiny pinhole to form in the protective transducer cover when the guide is latched into place. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
A pinhole breach in the ultrasound transducer cover compromises the sterile barrier between the patient and the medical equipment. This defect can lead to potential patient infection or cross-contamination during medical procedures.
