Medtronic’s Coviden unit has recalled its Mahurkar 13.5Fr high-flow, dual lumen acute dialysis catheter based on a “potential leaking condition within the hub of affected devices,” according to a [recall notice](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjRqsTSo8X8AhUpLFkFHcm6D3c4ChAWegQIBBAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.accessdata.fda.gov%2Fscripts%2Fcdrh%2Fcfdocs%2Fcfres%2Fres.cfm%3Fid%3D197255&usg=AOvVaw2L88uDQyEkdbaSopLRpbrT). The leaking is due to an inter-lumen void in the hub component, which may result in unanticipated fluid return during use, it says, adding that FDA has determined this to be related to “process design.” Last month, Medtronic began notifying customers who had received the affected products and customers were instructed to quarantine, discontinue use, and return unused products.
