Where it was sold

Why it was recalled

The firm has become aware of a potential problem with their venous and arterial magnetic catheters may be at risk of experiencing a magnetic deficiency, which may result in the magnets failing to attract to one another. This may result in procedural delay in obtaining or creating a functional fistula and need for additional contrast to perform the necessary fluoroscopy. This can pose an incremental risk of harm to a diabetic patient's kidney function.

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
