Swan-Ganz Catheters Models 131F7 Through AIQSGF8 Recalled Nationwide
Becton, Dickinson and Company is recalling multiple models of Swan-Ganz Catheters due to potential leaking or breaking of the proximal injectate lumen hub that could lead to infection, medication loss, or blood loss.
What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall of a medical device with potential for serious harm including infection, medication loss, and blood loss in hospitalized patients. Although no reported illnesses are stated in the source, the inherent risk of infection and blood loss in patients using central venous catheters, combined with the Class II classification, meets the criterion for Severe (score 4).
