Medline Industries, LP is recalling Centurion Infusion Catheters and Medline Arterial Line Packs because they were mislabeled as having an antimicrobial heparin coating when they do not. Approximately 1,250 units are affected by this recall, including 1,200 infusion catheters and 50 arterial line convenience kits. These products were distributed to hospitals and medical facilities in several states including Florida, Illinois, Kansas, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Washington, and West Virginia.
Patients may be at a higher risk for blood clots or infections if a medical provider uses a catheter that lacks the antimicrobial heparin coating they believe is present. While no injuries or incidents have been reported to date, the lack of expected protective coating could lead to serious medical complications during clinical procedures.
