Reason for recall

Catheters contain two issues: 1. the inner diameter of the distal connector may be reduced resulting in inability to pass the catheter through the connector and 2. the catch slot on the distal connecter may be deformed resulting in the inability to properly lock

A sterility recall means a product that must be sterile, such as an injection or eye drop, may be contaminated. Using a non-sterile product can cause serious infection.
