Swan-Ganz Thermodilution Catheter May Bend and Cause Monitor Error
Edwards Lifesciences is recalling Swan-Ganz CCOmbo V thermodilution catheters because the distal end may bend beyond its intended curvature, potentially causing the patient monitoring device to display an error message.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II medical device where the distal end may bend beyond intended curvature, potentially causing monitoring device malfunction. This is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not been reported, and the hazard is theoretical based on product design defect.
