Medline Convenience Kits with Recalled Swan-Ganz Catheters Nationwide

Medline is recalling convenience kits containing Swan-Ganz catheters with a defective proximal injectate lumen hub that may leak, break, or cause infection and blood loss.

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: This is an FDA Class II recall of a medical device with a risk of serious harm (infection, blood loss, medication loss). The source text states potential harms without documenting reported illnesses or injuries, which aligns with the High (3) criterion: risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Medline Industries, LP is recalling 9,272 Medline Convenience kits that contain Swan-Ganz catheters affected by a manufacturing defect. The recalled products are distributed nationwide in Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin.
