Medline Industries recalled 7,913 reprocessed electrophysiology catheters on July 31, 2025. The recall affects specific lots that may contain harmful particulates. Using these catheters could lead to serious health risks including embolism or deep vein thrombosis.
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
