Medtronic Recalls Mahurkar Acute Dual Lumen High Flow (13.5 French) Hemodialysis Catheters for Potential Catheter Hub Defect
Medtronic is recalling the Mahurkar Acute Dual Lumen High Flow (13.5 French) Hemodialysis Catheters due to a potential catheter hub defect that may cause leaks across the catheter’s tubes. During treatment, this leak could result in mixing of the arterial and venous blood, lead to increased recirculation and poor dialysis, or cause the development of blood clots in the blood vessels.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has identified this as a Class I recall, the most serious type of recall. Use of these devices may cause serious injuries, serious health consequences, or death.
