Medline Industries, LP has recalled 7,913 units of several types of reprocessed medical catheters, including Livewire, Webster CS, Inquiry, ViewFlex, and ACUSON models. These devices, used for mapping heart activity and ultrasonic imaging, may contain small residual particles left over from the reprocessing procedure. This recall affects specific lots and item numbers distributed nationwide across the United States.
If these catheters are used during a cardiac procedure, residual particles on the surface could cause an inflammatory response or infection. If the particles break loose into the bloodstream, they can cause blood clots, which may lead to serious complications such as a stroke, pulmonary embolism, or deep vein thrombosis.
