FDA says the 12/31/2024 Medline Industries recall of integrated arterial catheters is Class 1\. An agency [notice](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls/arterial-catheter-recall-medline-industries-lp-removes-integrated-arterial-catheters-due-excess?ref=fdaweb.com) says the recall was due to a manufacturing issue that caused excess material to be present on the catheter hub. “If a catheter with excess material at the hub is used,” the notice says, “that material could detach, potentially entering the body at the place it is inserted or entering the bloodstream. The use of an affected product may cause serious adverse health consequences, including embolism and death.”

FDA says there have been no reports of deaths or injuries related to the recall.
