Rocket Medical Plc has recalled 2,701 units of various Rocket Seldinger Catheter Procedure Trays and Catheters with Safety Guards. The instructions for use and kit labeling for these medical devices contain misleading statements that can lead to the catheter being improperly secured during insertion. If the device is not secured correctly, there is a risk that it could fall out while in use on a patient. This voluntary recall includes several catalog numbers for 12Fg, 16Fg, 18Fg, and 20Fg sizes.
If a chest catheter is improperly secured, it may become loose or fall out entirely during a medical procedure. This could lead to a failure to drain fluid or air properly from the chest cavity, or could allow air to enter the cavity, potentially causing serious respiratory complications for the patient.
