Reason

It has been identified that selected product code/lot number combinations of the EQUISTREAM and GLIDEPATH Long-Term Hemodialysis Catheters may be at risk of containing a tunneler with a plastic barb tip that is susceptible to breaking. The purpose of the barb tip is to attach to the catheter and create a connection, which allows the catheter to be threaded through the tissue as the tunnel is created.
