Medline Industries recalled 7,913 reprocessed ViewFlex Xtra ICE catheters on July 31, 2025. The recall affects specific lots due to potential residual particulates that may cause serious health risks. Patients and healthcare providers must stop using the devices immediately.
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
