What the authority reported

BD has identified via internal inspections that the packaging of some Hickman catheter and Broviac catheter kits may have damage present on the outer tray, potentially compromising the sterile barrier. This product features a double-tray packaging structure (outer tray and inner tray). The inner tray, which contains the catheter and accessories, is sealed inside the outer tray along with the instructions for use. The sterility of the outer surface of the inner tray and the instructions for use may be compromised.

What to do

Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
