Recall Z-1317-2022

Reason for recall

There is a potential leaking condition within the hub of specific chronic dialysis catheters, due to an inter-lumen void in the hub component, which may result in unanticipated fluid return during use.

FDA-determined cause: Process control

If a consignee is aware of any adverse events associated with recalled product, they are to submit a report to FDA via Medwatch.
