Medline Industries recalled 7,913 reprocessed AcuNav Ultrasound Catheters on July 31, 2025. The devices may contain harmful residual particulates that pose an infection risk. Patients and healthcare providers should stop using these devices immediately and follow recall instructions.
Specific lots of reprocessed electrophysiology and ultrasound catheters may contain small residual particulates. If devices with residual particulates on patient-contacting surfaces are used, there is a potential risk of an inflammatory response or systemic infection, and if particulate were to dislodge during use and contact circulating blood and/or the heart, it may produce a granulomatous reaction or thrombus formation, which may lead to cerebral or pulmonary embolism, or deep vein thrombosis.
Patients and healthcare providers should stop using this device immediately. Follow the recall instructions provided by the manufacturer. Contact Medline Industries, LP or your healthcare provider for instructions. Notification method: Letter
The recalled product includes Medline Item Numbers 10135910RH and 10135936RH. These ultrasound catheters were distributed domestically across the U.S. and are not for international distribution.
Some catheters may contain small residual particulates on patient-contacting surfaces. If these particulates dislodge during use, they can lead to serious health issues, including infections and thrombus formation.
