Medline Industries, LP is recalling approximately 1,883 reprocessed catheters across multiple brands, including Abbott, Livewire, St. Jude, and Biosense Webster, because they may contain small particles of residual material from previous use. If these catheters are used during medical procedures, the particles could enter the bloodstream, causing serious complications like infections, blood clots, or blockages in the lungs or brain. This recall expansion includes various steerable and diagnostic ultrasound catheters sold nationwide.
The presence of residual material on these reprocessed medical devices poses a risk of inflammatory response, systemic infection, or the formation of blood clots. These clots can lead to life-threatening conditions such as a cerebral embolism (stroke), pulmonary embolism, or deep vein thrombosis.
