Medline Convenience Kits with Recalled Swan-Ganz Catheters

Medline Convenience kits containing Swan-Ganz catheters recalled by Becton Dickinson are being recalled due to leaks and breakage of the proximal injectate lumen hub, which may result in infection, medication loss, or 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: The recall involves a Class II medical device (per agency classification) with specific failure modes that could result in serious harms including infection and blood loss. Although no reported illnesses or injuries are stated in the source text, the potential risk of harm and the specific nature of the defect (lumen hub failure leading to leakage/breakage) justify a High severity rating per the rubric.
